I believe it works mainly on the truck's body that has decals. I wouldn't try it on windows or anything. Alcohol or some kind of sticker remover from any autoparts can probably do that if you have to do that.

Re: Ranger sport sticker removal
Fastest way to remove decals is with a heat gun..or possible a hair dryer. Its the best and safest way to remove them...period..
Then use some "Goo Gone" spray to remove any left over sticky residue.
Trust me...i know my vinyl. I have applied and removed tons.
I have one of those eraser tools...it works but can still damage your paint. And it works better if u still use a heat gun with it.

Re: Ranger sport sticker removal
^X2. I might add, there is a citrus based remover out there as well to get the glue gone, and follow up with a good wax.

Can't help with the weather, wish I could, but any of the bigbox stores have them. They're not expensive, and you'll find other things to use it for as well. Think of it as building a tool collection.

Re: Ranger sport sticker removal
Ive got 3 heat guns...they were $10 each! I keep one in my office where i make my decals, i keep another in my garage, and one in my toolbox in my truck.
Also u can try a hair dryer too...im sure your wife/gf/sister/mom or someone has one.
Ive never tried a hair dryer so im not sure of they get hot enough or not.

Re: Ranger sport sticker removal
With those stickers being on that long, you may windup with ghosting. I don't know how you would take care of that, hopefully someone else does.

Re: Ranger sport sticker removal
A good buffer/polisher and some wax will work wonders...
