    New Vehicle Prep?

    Hey guys, so I have just purchased a 2013 Subaru STi and have told the dealership not to remove any of the PDI plastic tape that is on the hood, roof, trunk, etc. When I take the car back home, how do I go about removing that plastic/tape that is all over the body panels? My dad is nervous that I might pull the paint off, and since I have never done a new vehicle prep, I'm not really sure how to take it off carefully?
    Any help would be great!


    Thanks!

    Heat gun at a low setting, patience, some goo gone and a microfiber, and some QD/WW for the leftover residue.

    Any pics of the car? I love those!

    Ask the dealer to let you know how they do it/what they use?
