Dealer decals, old parking permits, bumper stickers, tape marks and window film leave behind a sticky ghost that attracts dirt.
Dealer decals, old parking permits, bumper stickers, tape marks and window film leave behind a sticky ghost that attracts dirt. In Richmond Hill, we remove the sticker and the residue, rather than leaving a gummy outline that is worse than the original. Tell us how old the sticker is when you book, because that changes the approach. It is a small job that makes a car look much cleaner.
Heat and patience do most of the work. We warm the decal to soften the adhesive, peel it away at a low angle, and use an adhesive remover safe for clear coat to dissolve what is left. A plastic blade is used when needed, never a metal one, so the paint is not scratched. Residue is wiped until the surface is clean.
Glass is more forgiving than paint. Windshield stickers, inspection tags and old tint leftovers can be removed with razor-safe technique and glass cleaner. On trim and plastic we use gentler methods because solvents can leave marks. Owners near Mill Pond often book this after buying a used car with a former owner's stickers, or before a lease return.
One thing to know: paint that has been under a decal for years has not faded like the rest, so a faint outline can show. Light polishing often evens this out. We tell you what to expect first. Afterward, wax or sealant helps protect the cleaned area. The result depends on how long the decal has been there. A quick pass of sealant afterward protects the freshly exposed area.

Richmond Hill is mostly detached and semi-detached homes with driveways and garages, with townhouse complexes and condo towers clustered along Yonge Street and Highway 7, so we usually set up in a driveway and also work in underground garages.
Winter salt and slush from Yonge Street, Highway 7 and the 404 build up on lower panels, and cold snaps freeze grime onto the paint. Spring pollen from mature trees and dust from ongoing development coat cars quickly.
Richmond Hill streets are busy at rush hour, and a drive to a shop on the 404 or Yonge Street takes time. A mobile detailer works at your driveway, garage or office and fits around the commute.
We regularly work in Mill Pond, Elgin Mills and Bond Lake, and every other part of Richmond Hill.
