Dealer Sticker I've been wanting to take of the dealer decal off my bumper for a long time now. I bought the car new in 02 and typically the car has been garage kept or under a car cover. My car is black, I live in NJ so obviously I don't have scorching sun rays all year around. Do you think if I remove it will there be a fade line around where it use to be?

I just recently took the dealer decal off the rear of my car. It's been on there since I bought it in 99!! 
I heated it up with my wife's hairdryer (shhhh) and peeled it off with my fingernail. Then went over it w/claybar to remove excess goo. Can't even tell it was there.

i am a car dealer and go to alot of auctions and purchase cars off of car lots for resale, and they ALWAYS put their stickers on. the hairdryer method works good. i have been using a liquid called mineral spirits and that stuff is great. just soak a rag rub the decal and it just rolls off, you can also use the same rag to remove the extra goo. just my .02 cents...

As I always have said, simply tell the dealer that you would be happy to advertise his dealership for a monthly fee equal to or greater than your monthly car payment and that sticker will come flying off!

Heat it up w/ a hair dryer/heat gun and peel it back w/ a finger nail instead. This method is insanely easy, and fairly idoit proof.
If you follow the razor method, be VERY VERY VERY carefull w/ a it (even w/ a lot of moisture from a spray wax, windex, goo gone etc) to not scratch or possibly go too deep into the clear coat.

I wouldn't touch my paint with a razor. I have a couple scratches in the clear from the holding tape when I put on my hockey stripes and I was trying to be super careful to only lightly score the tape. A razor is just asking for damage!

In some states it is actually illegal for dealers to put a decal on a car. All they can do in Washington is install their license plate frames.
