removing all the stickers off my car!

i was trying to remove vynal stickers that are probably 1 years old and having a hard time, THEY ARE CRACKING AS A PEEL!
I'M USING MY NAIL and it's not very good right now/ i'm trying to get it off with out scratching the paint.

any tricks will be helpful. thanks.

well after i get the vynal sticker off, it's easy to remove the glue with goo off. the hard part is geting the plastic vynal off.

hair dryer to warm it up..that helps. shoot some WD-40 in there to help get the goo off.

You shouldn't have put stickers on your car, much less your paint.

But I know you didn't want to here that so I'll try to help. Make sure you heat them up with a blow-dryer first so they're easy to peel off. It does make a difference. Try pulling them off slowly and pull them from the bottom up (against gravity). If they leave goo that's easily removable with a Bug & Tar remover, just make sure you don't scratch the paint (that's most important). But as always when removing stickers, take your time!

If it's on the glass, use a razor. Just lay a razor flat against the glass and push the sticker and it should come right off. Then wipe clean.

If it's on the paint ... well ... you could use the same tactic, just take it reeeeeeal slow.
