Dealer Logo

9Zs_Ed · 04-06-2011, 03:02 PM

Before I try, has anyone had any luck (good or bad) removing a dealer stick-on logo from the rear of a Magnetic Black Z?

on cars with dealers on mine, i used low heat and my nails to pull up the sticker. then removed the goo with googone on soft MF towel, waxed afterwards.

Ah! Low heat. That makes me feel better about it.

THANKS KENCHAN!!

When I worked for Ford and a customer complained, we used a heat-gun, some patience, and a bit of whatever "goo remover" for cars was popular at the time.

I remember one time I sold a truck with some cheesy "barbed wire" decal running all around it like pin-striping. That was a PITA.

yah, regular heatgun might be too hot for this application so i use the small emboss heatgun sold at those artsy stores for such projects.

Any chance of posting a close-up pic of the dealer emblem? We can give you specifics after that as you can really f@ck-up the paint if done wrong...and owners have.

Did you just purchased your car & they applied their sticker on it?
If so, go back to your dealership & have them remove it for you.

I always instruct the dealership not to apply any type of dealership sticker to my car or they can cancel the deal...I hate advertising for dealerships unless they pay me

im not sure if this is a good idea. the porter is probably not qualified to remove it correctly and they will be make you look like an arse for 'making' them remove the logo.

I used fishing line and a blowdryer to remove my rear "370Z" emblem. It took some time to remove all the adheasive, but its not that difficult. You just need to take your time. I used a clay bar to remove any leftover gunk, polished and a new coat of wax.

I hate Dealer Logo's..... thats the FIRST thing that came off my Z.

I peeled it off during my first wash, no need for heat
