I was wondering if anyone knows a safe way to remove the stick-on dealer decal my car came with. I tried searching for any info but could not find any. I am pretty sure the sticker is just attached with some adhesive glue.. and is prolly made of vinyl or some cheap plastic.. I figure heating it up may do the trick, but I don't want to leave a mess.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....

 

I had my girlfriend use her nails to peel it off of my last car...not sure about the tc tho

 

heat for the sticker and some turtle wax bug and tar remover will remove the goo

 

Clean it thoroughly, rubbing alcohol is good. Heat it, leaving it in the sun all day is a good way. Use a razor blade or similar to peel it off.

 

wow... deff dont do that.... unless u was deep scratches all in your brand new car

heres what you do:

clean the area the decal is on.
heat it with a blow dryer or heat gun
take your finger nail (if you dont have one, use a flat thin (but strong) piece of plastic) and work the decal off
once the decal is off, just soap and water to remove reside
since the stiker is new, there should ne little to no reside left, but if so... use a tar remover or something liek that from Stoner.

hope i helped... and deff dont use the razor blade.... thats just plain stupid

you use a flat razor blade on glass when removing paint (such as what dealer put on used cars telling their price, etc.)

 

just remove it before you have had it to terribly wrong. thats what i have done with all of my cars. with my xB there wasnt one becuase i got it before they had them printed at the dealership.

 

i peeled mine off with just my fingernails and it was quite easy (it was made of vinyl and each letter was a "seperate" sticker per say. I'm a guy and my fingernails are very short and no residue was left...but the quicker you do it...the easier it will be.

 

just take a CD that you dont want scrape it off then wax the rest of glue off buffer it up and ur good 2 go

 

i used goof off. that got it off, only problem is depending on what way you look at it, you can still see where the sticker was.

 

bring it back to the dealership and tell them you don't want it. i made sure to tell my dealership i didn't want a sticker on my car

 

put a big Type R sticker over it.

 

I picked up my 06 fm tc today. Yes. An ugly dealer decal was there. I carefully asked the dealer to remove it. He told me, "It costs $50 to remove it!"; surely, it was a joke. It seems that my dealer really wanted me to keep the decal. After I had finished all the paperworks, the decal was gone. I looked into where the ugly decal was very carefully and it was removed perfectly. Just go to the dealership and ask them to wipe it out!

 

nice.

 

Agreed. Bring it back, tell them you already paid them for the car, and you don't want to advertise their dealership for free.

 

thats an easy and free solution. tell them to also take off the plate frames if they gave you any

 

u can take it off yourself, if u already have it, why drive back up to the dealer and have it removed? waste of time

best way was the blow dryer method(mines didnt work, it was too weak, i used my gf's one LOL) Then i used my block buster card to scrape it off, partially, bent it then heat the center of the sticker some more and bam it's off

Cleaning it was a hassle, i tried alot of crap, and eventually tar remover solution worked

 

When we bought my wife's RS 2.0 xB, instead of a clear sticker, the dealership had put a really ugly SILVER PLASTIC logo on it! I had them take it back to their detail shop and remove it and clean off all the adhesive residue before we drove away with it.

 

Please... please don't do this. Even the thought of a razor near my car gets me worried.

 

i was told by a body shop guy to use fishing line to remove the badge. Worked great for me, no scratches at all. I used a little liquid adhesive remover to get the double sided tape off the car.

good luck.

 

1) heat gun/ hair dryer.

2) dental floss / plastic card to remove

3) Goo Gone for residue

4) clean and wax area.

or

Tell the dealer to remove the %#&^% thing.

I alway tell a dealer if I come to pick up a car and there is dealer propaganda on it, I will not accept it.
