need help removing dealer badge
What kind of badge is it. The raised ones you can gently peel off and then use adhes remover, the foil kind that stick on, heat it up with a heat gun and then it should peel off. May have to use some adhes remover on that also.
Slide a little fishing line or dental floss behind it, and using a sawing motion cut through the adhesive....
Remove any remaining adhesive with some rubbing alcohol or Goo-Gone....

Dealers should keep their dumb *** badges off of cars. I especially hate the dealers that drill into the body and put some big badge. ugh

sorry that stuff just pisses me off
Most likely a blow dryer and floss will get it right off. I did mine on a warm day after it had been sitting in the sun for a while. Eitherway, you wont damage the paint if you just take your time and heat it up.

I finally got tired of people getting upset that one was on MY car. I'd go to a show, and at least one person would say something to the effect of "wow, if that were my car I wouldn't have let that stay one there", and then get upset over it. Now why let yourself get upset over someone else's car? It's gone now, and I have to say that I'm glad I finally removed it.

I remember one guy on here saying he wouldnt buy his car until the dealer removed their stupid emblem off the car. Id have requested the same thing, I really hate dealer emblems and stickers. If they want to advertise they should put it on a cheap licence plate like the rest of them do.
I layed out the instructions when I signed for the car...NO decals, mudflaps (standard issue equipment in PA), or front plates. I gave them the option of putting on a dealership license plate frame...which I promptly removed when I got home!

I know next time I buy a car I will lay down the law just like you did. I don't do free advertising.

I told the dealer that I would be happy to advertise for him by leaving his dealer name on my car...all for a fee equal to my monthly car payment for the duration of the loan. I guess they felt that wasn't a viable agreement so they promptly removed the badge before final purchase. I was only trying to be fair...
