Ya use a hair dryer and then some dental floss will work too. If there is any glue left on car use goof off or goo gone and then wax the area.

that toy looks awesome Pascal. wouldn't mind grabbing one except that I only infrequently remove stuff like that. usually use fingertips + tape + WD-40 and occasionally break out the Goo Gone

If they gave me a serious discount for my car, then, and only them, would I consider keeping their emblem on the car.

Sorry, I rant.
word brother

when I bought my Bullitt I kindly offered them the option of removing the crap themselves, or I'd be an obnoxious jerk in front of the Dealership and make a huge scene while removing the crap. Of course that was after I had kindly informed them not to put the bull**** onto the car

I have used dental floss to remove emblem type stuff, works well but takes some time. Just finished removing a decal type dealer thing on the trunk lid and just warmed it up a little bit with a blow dryer and then used the thumb nail to take it off, letter by letter. Do not like these things on the car either.

That's what the pros use, so they can get the job done before midnight.
You don't push on the wheel, you let it grab the glue/tape or whatever.
Nothing will happen to the clear.


Tylus, I know where you're coming from...
It's just us, bodymen, we just don't like WD40 (or armorall) on the body of the car, not one bit.
It's "fish eye" City when you have to repaint something. Not good.

Goo Gone is great. It worked for me. Unfortunately, it was 3 years before I got annoyed enough with the logo to take it off, so there was a very slight paint fade where the letters were. (or rather, the rest of the car had faded from sun/UV, while the paint under the logo was more pristine). it was slight enough that only i can notice it of course.
