hope this help some future sticker or emblem removing.

-if you are taking off an EMBLEM, do the following.
1. heat up with a heat gun (far far away from the paint though) or use a blow dryer.

2. Use a fishing line and use it to take off the emblem.

3. Use a non-aerosol sticky remover such as AUTOMOTIVE Goo Remover.

4. Dab it with the Goo remover and not rub hard. Keep doing so until gone with a clean, microfiber towel.

If you are removing a STICKER, do the following:

1. Soak it with AUTOMOTIVE Goo gone.

2. Start rubbing lightly with clean microfiber towel until it breaks up .

3. Polish the area if there is any micro scratching.

Just get some black spray cans and paint the whole car. It will solve the problem and look trendy!

I have no clue what sticker they're talking about from the dealer that would be on paint either. Mine was brand new and had no sticker on any painted surface.

^^ eh... whenever i remove stickers from my car i use a heat gun with an extension cord and gently remove them. they come off as easy as they went on... a hair dryer works great too... no chemicals required till the sticker is off and then all you need to do is whipe it doen with a approved solvent followed by a quick wax on the area...
