Absolutely easiest way to remove sunvisor sticker

Ok.

First I have to admit I had to mess up one to figure out how to do the other but now the method was so easy it involved absolutely no elbow grease.

How I messed up:

I got some Goo Gone and figured I would soak the sticker. I simply poured some on it spreading it evenly with my finger and let it dry.

Then I poured some more on and spread again.

I was impatient and tried to peel off the sticker with an exacto knife.

When that wasn't working I grabbed some Acetone and poured some onto a towel and rubbed the sticker.

Little did I know that this lead directly to the black edge of the sticker melting and getting spread all over the damn place.

So I screwed up the drivers side. I ended up getting a toothbrush and rubbing like crazy and basically removed most of the black stuff though I was completely p*ssed at this point and just gave up (I have my garage door cliped to the visor so it blocks it anyways and I never use the vanity mirror).

How I figured out how to do it easily:

This whole time I had soaked the passenger side twice and it was sitting there just dry.

I poured some Acetone directly onto the sticker and unbelievably the ENTIRE STICKER peeled right off with no bleeding at all.

So there you have it: pour some "Goo gone" onto the sticker, let it dry, pour some more, let it dry for like 10 minutes, then pour some Acetone and simply peel the sticker off.

I wish I were more patient the first go around but it's not the end of the world!
