Default Taking off that blue oval!

My car is starting to look better and better...

New wheels and tires, took off that 'Tedd Birtt' sticker crap... Now all I want to do is take that damn blue oval off the back of my car. I know it's a Ford, thanks.

Does that just peel off and scrub the sticky stuff for 4 hours? Is there a trick to it w/out hurting the paint?

Thanks.

Use dental floss and slide it behind the decal. Use a LITTLE heat from a blowdryer. If you use to much the paint could peel and I have seen it done before.

WD-40 works good for removing the sticky stuff left behind and so does rubbing alchol. If u use the WD don't let it sit and or dry on the car, wash it right off.

I am proud, I'm getting bumper inserts (or having the bumper smoothed out), but I like symmetry!

I just don't want two holes there! I'm going to call the dealership.

If it'll make you stfu, yes, yes I do...

I love Mustangs and most fords, but the dealership really tried to screw me over. I like the clean look and don't think I should have to be a driving advertisement for ford. The car's looks and sound can do that for itself.
