If it's anything like the First Edition or FX4 decals, just run it through a car wash.

I would like to know as well. I got an actual raised metal dealer logo below my hybrid plate.

I just peeled it with my fingernails. If it’s stubborn, you can apply a little bit of heat to it. Wash off any residue with a soapy wet towel.

Hair dryer and goo be gone will make short work of it.

As mentioned sweatums hair drier, fishing line.
Be careful with the metal ones, easy to scratch the paint

Use fish line and blower to remove that decor. Video like this

I've had luck prying those off, and then using some combination of heat, bicycle chain degreaser, goo-be-gone, or isopropyl alcohol to remove the adhesive (depending on the chemistry). If they used a foam-backed adhesive, you may be able to slide a long piece of dental floss or fishing line behind and slice off the metal/plastic logo, and then clean up the adhesive. Be careful not to leave any solvents on too long by clean well with soapy water. Don't use anything more abrasive than your fingernail to scrape at the glue.

Naptha is a great paint-safe adhesive remover. A primary component in Ronson lighter fluid. +1 on the hair dryer too.

I got lucky, my dealer decal had some weird plastic that didnt adhere correctly because it was -30f outside so it came right off

Go very, very, very, slow when you try to remove it.

Am I the only person in the world who doesn't hate dealership emblems. If I have a good experience with my dealer, I have no problem advertising my good experience to others.

I even customized the dealer badge on my wife's Flex to match the custom paint.

I always tell them before I sign on the dotted line...."under no circumstances can you attach your dealership logo/emblem to my vehicle. You can put a dealership license plate bracket on it only"! I've never had one put on my vehicle, or they removed it if already there I have removed other emblems with a little heat and fishing line. Some goo gone or even WD40 will remove the residue (did you know that WD40 was developed as a cleaner, not a lubricant )

They have a drill mounted rubber wheel, kind of like an eraser, that takes off decals and glue residues. Available at any auto parts store.

Fortunately my dealer only puts on the license plate holders which I immediately removed .
