So I have shit load of sticker on my skis and I don't want them there any more, so whats the best way of going about removing the stickers.  I'm looking for something that gets them all off I don't care if its time consuming I'd rather get all the sticker off and the gunk then do a crappy quick job of it.

yeah, those goof off things or goo be gone things are supposed to be great.

my mom got some new skis and they put stickers on with the price and there were like three on the skis. obviously when i peeled them off, less then half of the sticker came off clean. so i rubber it real hard with some lemon juice. It worked, KIND OF.

there are obvious squares of where the sticker was if you look in certain light and up close, its like it left the glue, but took out all the paper so that it was clear. if you dont care, try this, if you do, the goof off will probably get it all off

i would use a hair dryer get them warm then use some goof off (he is right miracle worker) or rubbing alcohol. or just some warm soapy water after you heat um up good.

I have some on my mac and I just used a sander and sanded them off it worked great, it left a bit of discoloring from the different layers of paint I went through other then that you can't see any of original sticker...

I'm only kidding but yea I peeled the whole sticker off and it left the glue so I scraped it off with my finger nail then used some windex and clean the surface off it worked great, just spray the windex on the towel and then rub it on

Scrape them off the best you can and use lighterfluid to remove the gunk.  It takes it off effortlessly and the lighterfluid evaporates in seconds leaving no residue.  Just dont do it near a flame;

use a heat gun or blow dryer to make the sticker pliable so you can remove it and then get some rubbing alcohol and wipe clean once the sticker is removed.easy as 1. 2. 3.

















 don't license to that dumb ho.

Goo Gone is the best, just rip the sticker off and if it's a paper based sticker then the paper shit comes right off and it gets all the other sticky gunk the sticker leaves behind
