how could i get rid of a dealership sticker?i was thinking goo-gone would work.any ideas?thanks

 

Goo gone is a winner. If the going gets tough, try goo gone and a plastic spatula. Please. Please stay away from razor blades or anything metal.

 

In addition to the Goo Gone, you might need to take a blow dryer to it first to soften up the glue. That makes it easier to get the badge off then you can use the Goo Gone to remove any residue that remains.

 

Heatgun....not too much becareful, then use the goo-gone that stuff realy works!

I heard someone say that GooGone is bad for the paint. That made me nervous so I just used a hairdryer and my finger. That worked fine.

 

Based on the opinions of the pros on Autopia.org, Goo Gone is fine. On the other hand, Goof-Off is not! Keep it away from your paint.

 

I had mine removed when I had my windows tinted and they used an adhesive remover by 3m (available at napa) and also used a clothes steamer at the same time. Worked great.

Be sure to thoroughly clean the area and wax following the job. Good luck

 

If your iron at home has a steamer function you're set. Put some water in there, crank it up and wait a while. Then hold it about 1-2" from your sticker and steam for about 30 seconds at a time. Next just pry up the edge of a sticker with your fingernail and slowly remove. When you're done if there is residual goop you can use Goo-gone or you can use a non-abrasive rubbing compound like 3Ms.

blowdryer....fishing line(or floss)....goof off...good to go

 

Just FYI if you want to use a product specifically for automotive paints. 3M makes a general purpose adhesive remover that works well. Don't leave it (or goo-gone or any solvent) on the paint longer than necessary, though. I.e. don't let it just sit there and walk away. And make sure you clean the area well after you are done.

However, I've a question. Is the dealer badge a plastic badge with a foam adhesive backing? Or is it like cut vinyl lettering? The vinyl stuff you can usually carefully peel off with your finger. Just use care as your fingernail can scratch paint (though not very deeply in my experience, it's easy to correct).

If you don't have a heat gun, heat from a hairdryer will work too, and it's safer because they don't make the kind of heat a heatgun will.

Just don't use a Scotchbrite pad!
