Default Stupid emission sticker

I tried taking off the emissions and pulley routing stickers out from under the hood. The Top layer peeled off but the rest stayed on. Any good ways to remove these? I dont want to use a arazer or anything that would hurt the paint.

Rubbing alchol or WD-40 works great.

brake clean works also. its kind of like a dry cleaner, you can take stains off your seats, rug, even leather with it. test on a hidden area, first.

I used wax and grease remover. That sticker SUCKS! Mine was screwed up and I wanted to replace it but it was a major pain to clean off! Got it all cleaned and the new one put on without bubbles or peeling!

WOW! I had some goo gone in my garage that ive never used. I am soo impressed. I peeled off the top layer, let it soak 5 minutes and it literally whiped off with a paper towel. I repeated a few times to clean it perfect, they aren't goin back on. I want to make my bay look clean as possible.

Acetone fool, evaporates REALLY quick, and shouldn't ruin paint. Works when duct tape leaves ****, so it should work for your sticker problem. You won't have to clean it off like wd-40, and if that doesn't work, pay a hooker to lick it off.

I know you got it off already... but ive always thought it was weird that baby oil works really well believe or not... or acetone (fingernail polish remover, or rubbing alcohol, goo-gone lots of stuff... warming it up with a heat gun/hair dryer helps alot too.

They're all over the engine bay from the factory... someone must have already removed yours... they're are some on the right and left and the radiator shroud/air filter area
