and the dealer decals could always be easily removed, but maybe they hooked up a wicked deal and you feel you owe them something... guess not, just take a blade and gently take a sharp corner of the vinyl with the blade and peel the rest up with your fingers. good luck

i used heat, floss, and tide. Then i used a little wd40 to remove the excess glue that was left on. The dealer logo came off really easy, you could use your finger nails if you wanted too. Yank that pinstripe.

If you use WD40 or another solvent, be sure to wash it off completely immediately after using the solvent. This will keep it from damaging your clear coat. Any solvent should work fairly well. You could also try rubbing alcohol.

Haha. Same thing happens to me.

Someone always gets on the speaker and says, "No hand washing in <Insert my stall #>" I just look at the camera, shrug and keep washing. They've never done anything to me.
