Every time I wash my quad the WARNING and CAUTION stickers threaten to come off. I've had enough trying to salvage them but now I want them off. I've tried pressure washing them off, peeling, and melting them off, all useless unless I want to spend a few hours at it. Does anyone have an EZ way to get these stickers off?

I used a hair dryer and a dull putty knife to remove my warning stickers. Didn't take long at all. If that doesn't work, go to a car parts store, 3M sells a sticker adhesive remover. I was told this product worked well, but never used it myself.

Aniel,
I've always went to the car wash (one that uses HOT water for washing) and used the high pressure washer to blow off my decals and stickers.

Go to Wal-Mart and get a bottle of Goo Gone. It takes two seconds to remove stickers. Rub it on with a cloth, peel up one end and you can rip them right off with nothing left behind. Best stuff in the world for sticker removal.

My stickers on my Foreman peeled right off, but I've rubbed paint thinner on other stubborn stickers (like State Park windshield stickers) and they came right off.

Go to auto body supply shop.Ask for 3M-decal removal.It's in a spray can and works great.And won't harm finish.Just spray on wait 15 minutes and wipe off sticker.It's about $12 a can but it's well worth it>

Trust the goo gone stuff!! It works like a charm and in just minutes with no residue left!! Simple and not time consuming.
