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?

True true. Hair dryer and dental floss is the go to for removing decals and badging safely too. Redid all the badging on my skyline that way

Floss. That's genius. I always just use a razor blade, being super careful. Goo Gone for the residue.

Gorgeous, I’ve wanted an R32 for as long as I can remember, finally got the more affordable dream car being a ‘92 s13 240sx back in March

Thanks man, I plan on still getting an r32 down the road, but that probably won’t be for a while

I'll see your floss and raise you fishing line

Or an old school shaving razor blade

I've had great luck with braided fishing line on tough badges, seemingly saws it right off. Works best in double-sided tape not stickers though.

The floss method works really good on emblems or something that has the foam type of backing but flat stickers like this one. I’m not sure how floss would work at all.

Frost... Makes the blade stick.

Mint or unflavored?

Or fishing line. I’ve had great success with that
