Removing the dealer plastic name tag
 

Fellers, i know that there is a thread (or two) on here about this, but has anyone tried the product by Turtle Wax: label and sticker remover?? I am scared to death I am gonna mess up my paint. I already removed it with fishing line, now i want the glue crap off. Any suggestions??

What sticker is it? CarMax?

That stuff works. That, heat and lots of rubbing got mine off. Make sure you wax the area afterwards.

Goo Gone works wonders. That's what I used. Just make sure you read the instructions.

I've used goo gone as well. It works just fine as well.

Are you talking about when dealerships put there own little emblem on the rear of the car for advertising?

ive use WD40 first on plush MF towel, then RC car motor spray on plush MF towel at the end.

then wax.

worst thing to do is bear down on the paint using papertowels. :eekdance:

Rubbing alcohol soaked in a microfiber towel and a lot of gentle elbow grease does the trick.

Yeah, I was referring to the plastic dealer tag they stuck on. The Turtle Wax worked. But my stupid arse allowed a little over spray onto my right tail lens and spotted my tail light. The directions specifically say NOT to get on plastic... Gonna call T Wax tomorrow to see if I have any options on removing THAT. Thanks for all the feedback, gang.

Same concept used to remove old tint. Spray it with water. Cover the area with plastic bag. Park it under the sun for about 25-30 minutes. This will loosen the adhesive and be easy to take off. No chemicals used.

WD40 works great, you will have to re-wax though

3M makes an adhesive remover specifically for double sided tape, pick up a can for a few bucks at any auto supply store, and use it to pull off the remnants after using the heat/fishing wire technique. Make sure you wax and seal the area after spraying any cleaner on it.

I have used a hair dryer to warm up the sticker. It then pulls off easily leaving little residue. I then use a soft cloth and gently remove any residue.

Goo Gone works I used it to remove the dealer sign it really works. I even use it to remove stains from my jeans.

Over the years, I've learned to make absolutely no dealer decal a condition of the sale. Avoids the whole problem that way. Those salesmen are such idiots, putting stickers on $40,000 cars.
