Description
Removing stickers, decals, and window graphics from paint and glass without leaving residue or scratching the surface is a common detailing challenge. Adhesive that remains after peeling off a sticker doesn't respond to soap and water, and dry-scraping it off risks scratching paint or glass surfaces. Adhesive Sticker and Decal Remover is a citrus-based solvent formula that softens and dissolves adhesive residue so it wipes away cleanly from paint, glass, and chrome surfaces without mechanical scraping or chemical risk to the surfaces underneath.
What It Removes
Any sticker or adhesive-backed decal leaves residue when removed. This includes dealer badges and price stickers, parking permits on windshields, window tint film adhesive, company logo decals on commercial vehicles, registration stickers, and aftermarket vinyl graphics that have been removed. The adhesive that remains after peeling is typically a pressure-sensitive adhesive that is both sticky and resistant to standard cleaners. The solvent in this remover dissolves the adhesive polymer, converting the sticky residue from a bonded solid to a peel-away or wipe-away consistency.
The citrus-based formula provides effective solvent action through natural d-limonene while maintaining a safe profile for regular use on automotive paint surfaces. The pleasant citrus fragrance makes the application process more comfortable than working with purely synthetic solvent removers, particularly on interior glass and trim where you're working in an enclosed space.
Surfaces
- Painted body panels and bumpers
- Glass windows and windshields
- Chrome trim and badges
- Plastic trim pieces
How to Use
Apply the remover to a soft cloth or directly to the adhesive residue. Allow to soak in for 30 to 60 seconds. Gently wipe the residue away with the cloth. Repeat if any residue remains. Rinse the treated surface with water and follow with a wash or detail spray to restore protection to the cleaned area.
For tar and sap contamination on the same vehicle, use Citrus Tar Remover which handles petroleum-based contamination with similar chemistry. After contamination removal, protect paint with Super Seal Paint Sealant.
