Bumper stickers are a great way to show your affinity for anything you want the person driving behind you to know about, but when you want to remove them, it’s often a pain. Apartment Therapy suggests putting down a bit of wax before you stick that sticker on.

All you need to do is apply a small layer of car wax to your car before you stick on the sticker. When it’s time to remove it, the sticker should come right off with no gummy mess.

I was young and didn’t know what would happen. Five years later when they had faded and I wanted to remove them…WHOOPS!
To clarify and preempt the possible response, obviously yes I am aware on commercial vehicles stickers on paint is common, was more referring to privately utilised modes of transport 😛
