im trying to take off the dealership sticker i have on the back of my tC. i've heard taking a blow dryer to it is very effective, but i can use the blow dryer outside, because it needs a cord to work. i've also heard that taking it to the carwash and spraying it with the hose very closely will take it off ( that i don't think will work ). what i've accomplished is peeling off little pieces of it, and now it just looks like ____. so what's the easiest and best way of getting it off.

 

Use goo-gone or lighter fluid.

 

i thought about that, but will that screw up the paint?

 

I peeled mine off with my nails. Use a product called De-Solve-It if you can find it. It's awesome on adhesives.

i got some goo be gone, so i'll try that, i just pray it doesn't f<beep>k up the paint

 

i just used a blade to peel mines off.. be very carefull tho. its not that hard
then after youll see sticker marks , you can remove them by washing it out or just polishing it out..it works i did it.

 

Goo-gone is fine. It's a lot more gentle than lighter fluid! Just be sure you wash the excess goo-gone off your paint when you're done.

On the topic, if you ever decide to try 3M adhesive remover, a word of advice: It works great on adhesives, but will 'shatter' any plastic you get it on. I had an accident with my last car's headlights, and removing some eyebrows... I ended up buying two new headlights.

 

windew work?

 

De-Solve-It is THE GREATEST SOLVENT EVER@#$

 

you shouldn't use solvent!! goo gone is probably the best to use on paint because it's just citrus oil....no lighter fluid or solvent......

 

solvent should work, but u just may need to rewax the area after using to give it th shine back.

 

i'd make the dealer take that ____ off even before i took it off the lot. i know they want free advertising but who wants a f***ing sticker on the back of a brand new car?

 

i just peeled mine off yesterday. was gonna use a blow drier and floss like everyone else but after scratching the corner off i noticed i could just peel it off. i wiped off any remaining glue and i waxed that naked paint showing

 

GooGone makes a product specifically for this. It comes with the GooGone and a little plastic tool to get under the decal. Works very well.

De-Solv-It is made from citrus oil. The full name of the product is De-Solv-It Citrus Solution. It is not a harsh "solvent". It is 100% organic and made from citrus oils, aloe vera, and lanolin. The company that produces it is called Orange-Sol.

This product cleans just about anything. I love it.

This is why I gave specific instructions to my dealer not to even put one on. I don't give free advertising.

I think that Goo-Gone is probably your safest bet if you decide to use any sort of solvent, but why can't you just run an extension cord outside to use the blow dryer?

 

Lucky me. Johnston's Scion in NY doesn't apply any stickers. You do get the obligatory license plate frame which immediately went in the garbage.

i'd take it back and tell the dealer you didnt order the TRD sticker upgrade.
