1st Gen Stickers! Is this Fixable?
http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/2676644596.html
This car looks like a peach. I've been looking for a clean GSL-SE for a while now, but I can't say I agree with the aesthetic choices here. Do you think these are removable? They don't look too baked on, but I've never removed stickers off of clearcoat before.
What do you think?

There is a divice that body men use to remove stickers and adhesives that is a rubber disc that you put in a drill. It does a good job of removing stickers without harming the finish. I think you could use it on of those to get them off fairly well. The shame of it is that it is a really nice car other than the stickers. Some people are just stupid.

The aforementioned rubber disc really does work well for removing stickers and the like. I used one to remove the pin striping on mine and it worked perfectly.

Please go to his house and use a variety of stickers to remove all the hair from his body. Get some 3M adhesive and then proceed to remove his flesh. That has got to be the ugliest arrangement of decals I've ever seen. That being said, hairdryer as others were saying will work for removal.

what a dope (the perspn that applied all those stickers)
the wheel mentioned above is actually for removing pin striping
use a blow dryer or better yet heat gun, harbor freight has an inexpensive one
this will remove the sticker but not all of the ahesive
then get some 3M # 08984 - General Adhesive Remover
use small pieces of towel do not use paper towels
you'll end up doing it atleast twice but it will look like there were never stickers on the car
then he still may need a good finger nail removal excerise

the rubber disc thing works the best, but the hair dryer works too. it depends on how good the sticker was and how long its been on the car.
