Wow, that is a terrible decal. Did u try a fingernail?

Heat it up with a hair dryer and go easy with a fingernail or plastic scraper…

considering your location, a fingernail followed up with googone/wd40

When I buy a new vehicle I politely tell my salesman that I don’t want any dealer stickers on my vehicle. On the 22 Mav I bought before my current one, they had already put a sticker on the truck and it was already starting to peel. It was an easy call to tell them to remove it.

One time when I removed a sticker myself I used a real thin razor blade; it worked just fine.

I used the pressure sprayer at the car wash, and it came right off

That must be the worst dealer decal I ever seen!

Be happy it’s easy to remove. Dealers used to literally use screws

I'd put in a call to the dealer and ask them - if it is just some

contact the dealer and ask them - be careful if you decide to do it yourself and use goo-gone or anything like that - that stuff can damage the paint (especially the 'professional strength version) - it will melt and/or dull the paint. No big rush on taking this off so you want to make sure it gets removed safely and without any damage. If it happens to just be a 'sticker' then it's easily removed - if it is an actual decal that was 'slid on' off a sheet of paper then white vinegar seems to be a good option, but...if it was me - I'd take it back to the dealer and tell .them to remove it and to not screw it up

Park it in the Sun or use a Heat Gun. Heat is your friend removing stickers.

Like others have mentioned heat from a hair dryer if you don’t have a heat gun - but in case any “sticky” residue can be easily removed with some vinegar/water

Heat gun and a credit card to scrape it off.

90% of these are vinyl stickers, just use a finger nail and pull it off. I would never use a razor...I was lucky that the corner of mine was slightly peeling after they applied it - I ripped it off in one swipe right in front of the sales guy lol. He was like "well I guess we shouldn't have put that on" lol

I work at a Mercedes Benz Dealership, we don't use stickers but we remove them in our shop. This is what our guys use and I've used it a few times and it works great! Clean up with glass cleaner or goo gone with a factory finish left.

buy a pack of plastic razor blades. they will come in handy in life for many years. then use hair dryer or heat gun on low. easy peasy,
