Taking off Dealers Sticker

[shrtbull]

Has any body taken the dealer sticker off their car? How do you do it?

Thanks

You just take it off?

Its usually a clear vinyl sticker that can be taken off like any other sticker that you've faced in your lifetime. Afterward you can you use a product like Goof Off or Goo Gone to take off the adhesive residue that's left behind.

Do you have to heat them up?

[James K]

Usually no. However if they are old it might help. A hair dryer is usually sufficient for this.

If its a vinyl sticker then some heat will help in its removel.

If its a badge type then some fishing line may be in order to remove.

Either way its not that hard and some adheasive remover may be needed to clean up the residue.

i just completly removed vinyl graphics on sides of two vehicles, im talking full length. i did start out with a little heat but then noticed it left more adhesive residue on the paint, than not heating it up fully. so i just heated the edge up to where i could catch it with my fingernail and pulled it off. yes it did break at times, but then i just started over again. after graphics were removed of course there was a lot of wax build up around where the graphic was. i then used plasti-kote wax and grease remover to rid of all the leftover adhesive that did not come off with the graphics. it took some rubbing but i got off all the adhesive. i could not even tell that the graphics were there and they were on for 2 plus years. i did proceed to use an aio and then topped with collinite.

Each time I bought a new car I told the guy that if there's a sticker on it when I get here I won't take delivery of it.

I got some funny looks, but no stickers. ;)

I don't see why anyone would give them free advertisement, or why they think we should.

dental floss works well for emblem style dealer badges, and a little 3M Wax/Adhesive Remover gets rid of any final sticky tape.

Never thought of that. Nice tip! :props:

:dblthumb2:I agree with you 100% Silverstone. I never let a dealer put his sticker on my car, new or old.

That said, I have taken my share of them off and have had no problems. Never had to use heat, but just take it slow.

Isn't this the same thing with a brand on your monitor, phone, and almost everything else..

No. I don't mind if it says Audi or even Ford. I do mind when it has the dealers name. My monitor does not say Walmart on it.

You can use a solvent / auto magic has a really nice solvent product that will help you a lot.

And also there is an drill attachment of ruber / specially to remove all type's of decal's
i purchase mine at a body shop supply. Back in l.a

that thing work's fine / you can use either one
the auto magic solvent come's only in a one gallon / aluminum can. The no.#40 i think is the code for it
