Default Insert Removal

My car is going through a series of things next week and I need to know how to remove the vinyl inserts I put in the bumper? Any ideas

If you used 2 sided tape then dental floss will sever the tape and you can use Ronsonol lighter fluid or Zippo brand lighter fluid to remove the remnant. If you have the sticker type then just use the lighter fluid and a plastic butter knife.

Expose the edges of the sticker to a dose of lighter fluid and slowly peel it back while you keep applying more fire juice. The lighter fluid dissolves most adhesives on contact. For easier removal, allow the lighter fluid to sit on the stickers for a little bit and you can usually then just remove them by hand after a little.

And no, the lighter fluid will not harm most paint jobs. I've used it on my car a few times to replace the stock GT logos that got ripped off at the train station. Fuggin theives.. kill kill kill kill kill. Cost me 20 bucks and 2 hours.

Hair dryer to soften adhesive and corner of credit card to scrape, goo gone or lighter fluid for final cleanup.

I used a hair dryer to get the white ones I had. Worked pretty good, just took some time.
