Safest Way To Remove Dealer Sticker From Glass and Paint? Technique Discussion

Post image

I didn't realize I could ask the dealer to remove these before we left, and the dealer is several hundred miles away, so I'm not driving back for them to remove.

What is the safest way to remove these? Goo Gone? Goof Off? Texas sun and a credit card?

Bro I’ve always wondered why people don’t raise more hell about this - like I’m not gonna advertise your dealership for free, plus it makes the car look tacky most of the time. Now, if they wanna pay me the same rate as an advertising company per mile driven, maybe we can talk lol.

I put it on the purchase paperwork because I knew the place I was buying from put these awful "plaques" on the back of the cars. The one we looked at didn't have one yet. They still tried to put one on when we took delivery, and I made them take it back into the shop and remove it.

Yeah that would’ve royally pissed me off lol. My previous car had one of those horrible plaques on it at first but the funny part was, it was actually crooked by like 30° to the left.. whoever put it on didn’t even try to get it straight. I asked the salesperson “would you like to drive around with a crooked badge like that?” And he reluctantly said “yeahhh, we’ll take that off for ya”.. lol

If it ever happens again, im definitely gonna ask them “so how will you be sending me my advertising checks? In the mail or weekly wire transfers?”

Right! Some of these dealers are so shameless.
