Not really. If it's on glass then razor it off and then use something like Goof-Off or Goo-B-Gone to get rid of the residue.

That sucks. I had a hell of a time taking off a business logo from a truck one time. I had good results with WD-40 and cheese cloth. It did'nt hurt the truck paint at all (90 chevy with crapy paint to begin with) and cut through the glue left behind! You may want to test the wd out on the civic paint somewhere out of sight, as I dont know how the paint will hold up to the WD.

Good Luck

get out your hair dryer....put that bad boy on its highest settings and just blast the vynal for a few minutes till its REAL hot, then use a razor and it should come RIGHT off!

If they're on windows or glass parts, use water spray with lil' bit of soap in there (not that much, u aint washin ur car now)
and get a razorblade, and keep scrapin them off. it won't damage ur windows unless...you do somthing stupid and scrapin it in wrong angle. try to keep sharp part flat to the window.

If its on body parts...hmm i donno i used windex and my fingernails.

[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] yeah i use a little goof-off once in a while when im removing stickers too.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

sorry, couldnt resist!

razor blade works good on glass, then goo gone to get the sticky stuff off glass. you could use a hair dryer to soften up the adhesive.

EZ-way...if you're careful. Get some STP Throttle Body cleaner from a auto store...spray it on a rag and wipe it off the glass. Just DON'T get it on anything else!
