thats why you demand that the dealer removes it for you. when i signed for my car, i said i would take a license plate holder, but now stickers or emblems at all.

where is the gooeyness? on the paint?

Goo-Gone. Totally safe on the paint and works like a charm. Be careful with other similarly named products like Goof-off which are chemical based and may damage the paint...Goo-Gone is citrus based and will not affect the paint at all.

^^What he said. That stuff works great! It also takes gum off the botom of your shoe. (Especially good for 'Jordans!) Smells purty too.

home depot does and even the grocery stores by my house.. look in the car section or near polishes (silver ect) and you should find it.... ace has it every place has it in my area (houston)

take care

you can also rub ur thumb rigurously on it
and it will stick to itself and come off.. but when i did this i got a blister on my fingey...
lol

I use Turtle Wax's Bug and Tar remover.

Works very well for not only bugs, tar, but for leftover adhesive, melted rubber, tree sap, bird droppings, etc.
