How can I remove dealer decals
 

I just got my Z about a month ago and need some tips on removing the dealership advertisement cleanly off of the back. What would be the best way to do this, of course without scratching the paint? Thanks

Oh thanks...sorry didnt do a good enough search for it. Thanks again

OR, you can ask 'em to pay you a monthly fee for the advertisement!

The best is to tell them NO Decals, stickies or other advertisements are to be put on the car BEFORE you buy it. Thats what I do every time. It works.

PS - sometimes if you do it the first day, stick ons can be removed easily with finger nails without scratching the paint.

This stuff works wonders, even on decals that have been baked in the sun. Use with finger nails or very, very gently with a razor blade:

I would go back to the dealer and have his professionals do it. That way, if there would be any paint damage, they will be responsible.

That is what I did, the car sat for one day actually, but it was the start of summer for Texas so I got home and they peeled right off. Went back the next day while cleaning it and made sure everything was gone.

Use some fishing line and saw back n forth behind the emblem kinda like flossin your teeth. Works every time and no scratches.:tup:

Worst case you'll need a little adhesive remover to clean up what's left.

Oops...

Just looked at your pic. My technique only work on the big hideous plastic emblems some dealers stick on.

Your's just looks like vinyl letters. Peel off with your finger nail and just clean up any residue after.

I took the stickers off with a heat gun ( just go across the spot for like 15 seconds and peel off) and Bug tar (to remove any stickiness leftover). No residue afterwards! Worked perfect! Bug tar takes off everything! Great for summer driving when you got bugs all pasted to your bumper :)

ok thank you for all of the suggestions. I was able to just carefully peel each letter off with my fingernail, and then just clean up the residue. thanks!!!!

Will that "Dissolve It" damage the paint job?! Where'd you get it? WALMART? KMART? An auto parts store?

It has not damaged the paint job on any of my cars. It is a citrus based solution though, so use conservatively and be careful not to rub it into the paint. I find that a little goes a long way, and then the residue can be washed off with clean water. I have found it at Kroger and a few local auto parts stores. In my opinion, it works far better than similar "Goo-Gone" and other alternatives.

Exactly that.

I thank my dealer because they DON'T sticker the cars. Their solution - license plate frame.

Good enough - easily swaped out too.
