Default Just hair dryer and a bit of finger nail

I used a hair dryer just to warm up the decal and very easily peeled it off. Careful not to overheat the decal because it makes it prone to slicing.

It is easier to remove a relative new decal than an older in terms of glue residue it leaves behind.

My fingernail with alot of patience is what I used...Then cleaned up the residue with some WD40....I think was a late night deal after coming home from drinking too....

i want a picture after the sticker is gone


or better yet, use some dot 3 brake fluid and rub it all over the area you want the stickers removed from, wait a couple hours then go out and just wipe them off......... that easy, no hair dryers, finger nails, tweezers, belt sanders etc..

but just send us pics when its completed like it says above and do a complete write up. thanks and have a great day.

I always thought brake fluid ate your paint off, that's why it says not to get it on any painted surfaces, and if you do to wipe and clean it up asap?

A good pressure washer will do the trick. I do it every time I get a new vehicle to remove the dealer decal. No free advertising!!
