Dealer decal removal
 
What is the best way to remove dealer decals, without damage to the paint of course?
This decal really stinks because it is a bunch of individual letters.
Will heating them with a hair dryer make them loosen and easy to remove?

Heat it up good and it should come off. If any glue is left use a little WD40 or Goo goon.

Yep..use a hair dryer and not a heat gun. If you stop moving a heat gun, you can bubble the paint.

Once the decals is off....rubbing alcohol works well, WD40 works better and Goo-Gone works the best.

Thanks for the tips. Hair dryer on low and a plastic toothpick to get under the letters.
Then a quick rub off of the glue with some quick detailer.

Flamethrowers aren't illegal in most places in the US.... ;)

I used the rough half of a regular sponge to help scrub off residues off my car.
