Any suggestions on how to get Pope Francis off my car.

[Toddlerteaplease]

Was give a pope Francis care sticker as a secret Santa present a few years ago. I loved it!! Have a new one to replace it with, but the old one is stuck fast. What can I remove it with?

You need one of those razor blade scrapers for electric stove hobs. That will remove Pope Francis. The razor blade is in a handle and it scrapes burnt on deposits off.
If anyone knows where to get a st Anthony sticker I would love one! In Europe they Are used to remove car stickers - eg in Switzerland you need a sticker each year to drive on the motorways.

10 Hail Marys and an Our Father should do it.

Or really hot water on a flannel - hold the flannel on it for 30 seconds then rub like the devil incarnate.

Don't forget to replace the flannel back in the bathroom so as no to raise suspicion that it has been used for Holy business.

Eek 😬 can you get Cecilia Giménez to give him a spruce up?

If none of these suggestions shift it, could you rub in some brown polish and turn it into the Turin Shroud?

This thread has just reminded me of the plastic Jesus song......

What was the verse for Padre pio?

Excellent thread! I’ve a Padre Pio tax disc holder and can confirm that I drive like the possessed

But now I really really want a window sticker for the front room by the armchair

Thought you might have been my neighbour for a minute there. Their car literally has the Pope in one back window and the Queen in the other!

I had a St Anthony disc holder but I lost it...

@Gerla I went to a school run by nuns and can confirm your point about the driving. No one in the vicinity would ever set foot on a crossing if they saw one approaching.

It wasn't helped by the fact that most of them were tiny and barely visible over the steering wheel - generally you'd glimpse the top of a wimple, a bit of a forehead and two hands gripping the steering wheel as they shot by!

FreezerBird My DM has a parking angel to help her find places to park

I know someone who prays to St. Anthony to find her a car space!

Lots of people do - you can get dashboard statuettes. But the best one to pray to is St Frances Cabrini (unofficial patron saint of parking spaces).

I had no idea!

Have you thought of replacing it with a sticker of the sacred heart? You could work in some red LED tubing to make the heart pump for some car cruising credit too.

@TheLongRider I thought that bike looked vaguely familiar and then I clocked your username I've dropped off the cycling threads since DS2 but !

I feel like I'm in a parallel universe with this thread. It's fabulous

I was gifted, a very tasteful by day, glow in the dark Madonna that’d would have been lovely on your dashboard.

Genius idea - she could give him a nice saintly balaclava

Who is she?

@FlaviaAlbiaWantsLangClegBack *waves back! I'm still here mostly on the Litter Tray and the exercise section. Still riding that bicycle!

Who is she?

A well meaning lady who restored a church fresco in a unique style.

I neeeeeeeeeeeeeed a St Frances statuette! She'll love it in the MX5!

this thread is an absolute mine of information.

serious answer here: olive oil removes stickers from glass jars and mirrors, so it might work for you.

I've never seen a Mother Cabrini statuette (that was St Anthony). But I have seen car magnets, miraculous medals and car rosaries with her on.
