[QUOTE="eohl79, post: 1063800301, member: 117298"] [B]The answers to the poll is really misleading[/B]! Most car detailers/enthusiasts won't select any of the options listed. To safely remove labels, stickers, use a [B]paint safe[/B] degreaser/APC/tar remover (Optimum power clean, Osren Degreaser FX, CarPro TarX, pH neutral citrus based degreaser, etc). Event then, you will need to wash off the product properly and before it dries up. I tend to avoid recommending solvent based products (petrol, diesel, kerosene, turpentine, WD40, lighter fluid, etc) unless it is deemed clear coat safe and you have [B]at least done a test spot safely[/B]. Even then you would need to [B]wash the area off again[/B] with car shampoo or APC to ensure there is [B]no residual oils[/B] left behind (e.g: petrol/diesel - I use it to clean/degrease chains as it leaves an oily coat behind to prevent rusting after cleaning up). There is double effort here due to the extra clean up step. Some solvents may even haze/etch the clear coat unknowingly until you check your paint under proper/certain lighting conditions. Better be safe than sorry unless your car is a beater and you don't really care about the paint. After removing the sticker/adhesive successfully, apply a coat of wax/sealant to protect the paint.
