HELP needed (again)

[BlasterBob]

Looks like a lot of new vehicle dealerships continue to glue/adhere their little advertising piece of plastic strip to the rear of vehicles they sell. I have one on my trunk lid and would sure like to remove it WITHOUT screwing up the paint or finish. Can someone please furnish a good reliable (SAFE/EASY -- EASY) method of removing these decals?? Don't say to get a new vehicle as this one only has 30 miles on it so far and I am pretty particular about having NO scratches/scrapes on my vehicles. Thanks for any "serious" suggestions.

That's pretty obnoxious. Did you ask Phil Long to pay for the advertising space on YOUR vehicle or they'd have to remove their crap?

Ugghh I hate those.. I made them redo the paperwork and take off $1k when they failed to follow instructions when i explicitly told them to NOT put any dealership sticker or badging of any sort on my truck, that I wasn't getting a discount to advertise for them. Looks like I got a discount to advertise for them

Glad I did a final inspection when the 'detail' shop was done before I signed.

Heat gun and fishing line. Heat up the emblem/decal, what ever it is, then use the fishing line in a sawing motion to cut through the glue. Dwntal floss works also, but breaks alot eaiser.

Did you take it home already? I don't have any useful suggestions for removal after the fact.

The last two times I've bought a vehicle from a dealership, I insisted they remove their advertising before it leaves the lot. The last guy didn't want to do it and argued with me about it, but they change their tune pretty quickly when you start to get loud in a showroom full of potential customers. They can take it off in a matter of minutes.

Goof Off, maybe heat if needed just to get a corner off.

Precisely what I was going to suggest.

Warm the sticker up with a hair dryer while peeling it off. Use rubbing alcohol with a microfiber cloth to remove any glue that is left over from the sticker. Dont use goof off it could damage the paint. (Leave a discolored spot on the paint)

Nope-I used it to remove some graffiti off my truck and no damage at all.

Try WD-40 on an inconspicuous spot on the car to make sure it doesn't discolor - then soak the sticker and let it sit for 5 minutes... then gently take a plastic scraper to it.
