Default How do I remove those pesky dealer-name decals on the decklid? *pic*

I was wondering how I could go about carefully, professionally, and inexpensively removing the very stubborn dealer decals from my car.

I'd rather not have to resort to drastic measures. Anyone successful in taking these off? Thanks a lot!

Oh and the plate frame was removed as well haha. Shout out to Brian Hoskins Ford in Coatesville, PA. They gave me a fine fine deal on my car. Now I need their not-so-subtle advertising removed from my car!

I was told by others to use a hairdryer, but i just peeled them off with my fingernails. Then i used goo-gone to clean the rest of the sticky residue off.

goo gone is incredible. i used it to remove the awful residue from those damn PA emissions stickers.

goo gone is safe on our paint then?
