Try peeling it off with your finger nails first, if its like a double side sticky tape type of deal take a hair dryer to it and heat up the glue so it can be peeled off easily....then if there is extra on there, put some alcohol on it

If you ever order a car from a dealership make sure you tell them not to slap one on there, because they usually will....Bastards... <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0">

They were pretty good with me, they listened... <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

My dad used a hair dryer and dental floss to take the badges off his truck.

LOL, while finishing my deal to buy my car, I told them that I didn't want the dealer sticker on the back. My salesman told me he would go see what he could do with the guy prepping my car.

He came back and said that they weren't able to get the logo off because it was put on with a special 'heat' tool.

I said fine, either knock another $1000 off the price of the car for me advertising your dealership or I walk now.

Some how it was taken off in the next five minutes.....luckily there were no marks or signs of it ever being there.

Dental floss, hair dryer, and some of that 3 M bug and tar remover did me right...it was on the car for almost 3 years (i just got the car recently) and its not one bit faded adn you can't notice it...without a wax job

just go back to the dealership and tell them to take it off, they have no choice and its not exactly hard for them, if they say it is....theyre lying
