    I would use nylon scotch pad before the steel wool. The steel wool definetly would be faster. I used steel wool on some rims and it did leave light scuffing. I didn't notice it till they were dry. I was being gentle too. Maybe the trick is to polish them.. but i'm lazy lol.

    saw a spray can at Auto Zone today that said it was just for removing bumper stickers. Can't remember what it was called. It was like 10$. Over by the adhesives.

    heat gun, then Goo Gone. Get it at Dollar General. works great Starter fluid will also cut the goo, if you have it. We use it at work (a vet) to take bandages/tape off of dogs,

    1. heat gun
    2. plastic scraper or straight razor or razor scraper
    3. Rapid Remover *obtain from a local sign shop*

    after the rapid remover removes the glue, use a little Spray 9 to degrease the area.

    i work in the sign industry and have had alot to do with car wraps and bumper stickers and such.
