So it's gotten to that point of the year where I get all my ski gear out and get ready for the upcoming season. Thus I saw my helmet with a few stickers on it. I looked at it and realised how bad the stickers look and i've sort of grown out of the phase anyways. Anyways NS what is the easiest way to completely remove all the stickers from the helmet. I take part of the sticker off then there's a ripped part and it looks shit and I can't seem to get it all off.

Tear of the stickers and for the left over gunk, get some eucalyptus oil (considering you're Aussie) and wipe the residue off with it. Always worked for me.

Rubbing alcohol will also remove the sticker residue.

Goo gone works like a charm, or you could just use alcohol/turpentine/white gas/paint thinner. Just look it up and don't sniff the stuff, there's lots of options.

Heat it up with a blow dryer before you peel it

The blow dryer technique works like a charm. Just find something like a razor or tweezers to pull off with cause my finger tips got real sensitive after a while, but I may also have bitch hands.

goo gone sometimes removes paint with it. my favorite is rubbing alcohol and a razor blade.

Use rubbing alcohol and alcohol wipes.

I think i used my moms nail polish remover one time to remove the gunk/sticky stuff left behind and it worked ok.

Off topic but would you guys recommend that stuff for cars? Just bought a used car and the stickers don't do it justice.

goo-gone and razor blades, tear off stickers as much as possible, rub with a cloth and warm water then use the goo-gone to scrape off the stickiness.
