i had the dealership sticker on my car for a year and finally had a chance to remove it. initially was a bit scared because i didn't want to damage the paint. thought about using a hairdryer but then just gently lifed one corner of the sticker with my finger nail and then very slowely peeled it off. just make sure you don't peel it with a sudden fast motion.

To use a hairdryer, set the hairdryer to the Hot setting, and then hold the hairdryer above the decal. If it is the right type of decal, the decal should be easy to pull off after it is heated thoroughly.

hair dryer or hot day in the sun. I don't advertise any dealership (unless they want to pay me) and always remove it the day i drive it home.

Use any slick liquid (Windex is fine) and a razor blade. Be gentle and keep the angle of the blade as small as possible to avoid digging in. Worked for me. A dab of paint thinner removed the glue easily and a little wax just to make me feel better.

That almost made me have a heart attack! Why would you use a razor blade when there are plenty of other non-scratching methods and things to use, like fingernails and plastic spatulas?

I just used my fingernails and just slowly lifted it up until it came off. I used Goo Gone to get the adhesive off. Easy as pie, depending on good you are at making pie, that is.

+1 on goo gone. Works well. After I remove the sticker I wash off the solvent and apply a nice coat of wax.

I would use a hair dryer to remove it and then use goo gone to get the sticky stuff off the car. Not a big deal.
