    Hello everyone,
    I have bought a four years old truck that has IFTA stickers of last four years stuck to its door and when I tried to remove the old stickers I did not find them hard to remove but also in the process I got some paint off too then I stopped there as I didn't want to ruin the paint on my truck. Does anyone have an idea how to remove them safely without giving further damage to the paint/ color of my truck?
    Thank you

    Use a heat gun or hair dryer, works like a champ. If any residue is left use oops or similar sticker adhesive remover.

    In addition to heat, you can try to find a plastic scraper or a little 2" plastic putty knife. Heat up a corner with a hair dryer, peel it back by hand, then work it off with the scraper. Slow and steady, otherwise you'll likely end up with a bunch of adhesive left over.

    I use an autobody disc from auto parts store. Car Quest. Works for all decals. I think it is made from bees wax. It attaches to drill. Good luck
