How to remove sticker in 10 mins ;)

Every summer, residents in Chicago have to apply for parking stickers from the City. Some people may need additional residential parking stickers besides the city one. Year after year, I've had totally eight stickers on my car window. Parking sticker probably only exists in Chicago over the Midwest. Whenever I am on road trip to another town, I miss the old days when my car was "stickerless".

The City of Chicago should be proud of the quality of their parking stickers. Many times, I tried to peel off those from the window, but never succeeded. Yesterday I finally decided to implement this project to remove those colorful stickers from my car.

After doing some research online and consulting a friend, I decided to try razor blade + Goo Gone technique. Both razor and Goo Gone are available in hardware stores. The task was not as hard as I thought. It took like five minutes to strip a sticker. The glue residue also can be removed with Goo Gone in a couple of minutes.

It was nice to get rid of those stickers.
