Remove dealer decal from back of car

mbplace · 02-05-2012, 11:50 AM

I just bought a used BMW m3 and it has that annoying Rick Hendrick decal on the back. What\'s the best way to remove it without damaging the paint?

use a hair dryer and slowly peal it off if it is just a vinyl decal, but if its one of those badge decals, youll need a heat gun and floss!

Depends on the type of decal/badge but you might find that a plastic razor blade will help.

I sprayed mine with adhesive remover and hit it with my electric pressure washer. Took it (and the adhesive right now) A little buffing and all good!

+1

Adhesive remover and fishing line also works pretty well. Clean the area off afterwards and apply a coat of wax to it when done though.
