Any tricks to getting the dealer logo off the paint?

[Triangle6887]

Lots of good answers here but I'm surprised nobody has recommended a plastic razor yet. I used a heat gun for ~30 seconds over the sticker and then went at it gently with a plastic razor and it came off.

Dental floss didn't work for me because the sticker was very thin and couldn't catch on anything. Dental floss did work well for removing the AWD badge though.

Post #7 the OP stated he ordered plastic razor blades from Amazon.
They should help.

Too late now I think, but in general, I'd ask the dealer to remove it.

after never getting all the goo off despite years of intermittent effort on my E-150, I told the salesman when ordering that I needed to include that there would be no such logo.

He laughed, and explained that his dealership had no such thing, just the license plate frame.

I asked the dealer not to put the logo on the truck, they said no problem. Also told them no add-ons of any kind, no problem again.

I can't believe no one said power washer/car wash. That thing doesn't stand a chance.

Bah.

first trip to the car wash and the high pressure wand took it right off...........

Erp.

I just ordered plastic razor blades on amazon. I will see how they work.

When I ordered my truck they put the sticker on the back I was able to take it off the next day just by peeling it and having to use a little bit of goo gone. I also ask them not to drill holes in my bumper for the license plate bracket but they didn't listen to me

I've detailed forever, usually just a blow dryer and a little patience will get it. Use some rubbing alcohol to remove leftover adhesive.

I've been attempting to get the dealer's name off my truck for a month now. I tried Goo Gone and Turtlewax label remover, while using a plastic scrapper. If you look at the photo, only a small part of the N came off. Does anyone know any methods to remove their sticker without damaging the paint?

Considerate dealers just put their license plate frame on the truck. Easily changed to my Ford Performance frame!

My Mustang and my Maverick have Ford performance license plate frames

Find a sticker that you like and cover it up?...

I got the F off the day I bought it it, then rode around with red beans until we had that first hot day. Then goo-gone, thin scraper, and time. That sticker is tough

Could slap the right sized version of this bumper sticker right over that dealer logo. Lol. All kidding aside, that dealer is a bloody idiot for pulling a stunt like that.

Vegetable oil on a cloth should work. You can use it to take the goo off of bottles after you take the labels off of them.

I told my sales person I want $50 cash each month on the first, for an advertising fee.
Or no sale.
It’s gone.
