Removing dealer stickers

[Red94Camaro]

Of course whenever you buy a car they have to advertise on it. Is there a good way to get the sticker off without hurting the paint or anything?

if you have a preasure washer that has some good power it will remove the letter then go behind it with a towel and adhesive remover to get the glue off. or if you have a steady handy and not scared spray some spray on wax or anything smooth on the paint and use a razor to get the letters off . the razor will glide over the paint and wont scratch it. try the 1st method first to be safe.

Or...
Find a heat gun and heat the letters up really hot. They'll peel right off, then take something like Goo Gone to get rid of the leftover adhesive. After that just go over with a claybar to make sure it's smooth enough.

Wouldn't that hurt the paint?

When i Got my car i VERY carfully peeled them off with a razor blade.. Not a good suggestion if you old and can't see or if you have the shakes.. i was supprised it didnt leave a mark after 5 years, but it looked good..

My sticker is just one sticker. Not individual letters.

clean the area, and then heat it up with a blow dryer. To take the adhesive off, just put some rubbing compound on the area and buff it off. I had a foil sticker on mine, and it was a major PITA to get it off. It took me about 30 mins total because the sticker would only come off in very small pieces. Definitely worth it though!

Wouldn't using a blow dryer crack or hurt the paint? And using the rubbing compound?

No, you will be fine.
