Sticker Removal

I'm going to be removing a sticker from the bottom of my rear window (a certain .org sponsor I'm not happy with and hate to have on my car anymore) and I'd like to know the best tools/methods for getting it off. I used a pocket knife and some soap/water to remove the tiny letters from my Maxima.org sticker (some were falling off, so I just took them all off and left MAXIMA.ORG), but this sticker includes a lot more area and I'd like to know if there's anything that would make getting it all off any quicker of a process.

use a blow dryer to heat it up, don't get it too hot or it will bubble the paint if its on the body, on window I don't think it would matter. Once you heat it up it will come right off. I used goof off to remove the glue, came right off, then make sure you wax it. (only if its the on the body). Good luck. And Its good that you didn't mention the sponsor you are mad at, shows alot of class.

Yeah, I am extremely unhappy with them as of late since I ordered something 4 weeks ago and never got it I'll save that for the vendor feedback, though. Thanks for the tips, it's on my back window, so I shouldn't have any issues.

use a razor blade. Just be sure to keep the edge flat enough so that it won't scratch the glass. Follow up with some goo-gone if need be.

Forget all that...Heat it up with a hair dryer (Heat gun works too fast, you might burn your paint off...) and use your fingernail to scrape it off....for the stickiness just go to your local Pep Boys or equivalent...and get some 3M Rubbing Compound...works so good, make you want to smack yo momma...
