They put the sticker of the Dealership directly onto the body of my car (the paint). How do I get that off? I should add it's not one sticker but each letter is a seperate sticker to make it even harder!
Any ideas??

okay, this is what you do, and EXACTLY how you do it..... I've done it to all of my cars. We've also debadged my cars this way also (taking the actual car info off of it.... SUBARU IMPREZA WRX for example).....

Items you need:
1. blow dryer
2. credit card (preferable an expired one)
3. Shammy cloth
4. buffer with buffing polish

What you need to do:
Turn the blow dryer on low speed, hot heat. Start blowing it directly on the sticker that you want to remove. Take the credit card and place it on the top of the letters, at an angle. Scrape at an angle. DO NOT PUT THE BLOW DRYER ON THE CAR ITSELF! You could cause damage to the paint itself. After you get the lettering off, you are going to want to apply the buffing polish directly onto the spot where you removed the letters using the shammy cloth. Get a low-powered buffer and put it at an angle on the section and buf in a circular motion. Not for long though, you don't want to overdo it and remove paint. Just do it for a few seconds so that it removes the glue and the "etched" look that the sticker will leave behind.

Viola! We removed the dealer sticker, the words "Subaru" (large letters across the back), and "Impreza" (small word under WRX) on our car. It took us less than an hour to do the entire thing.

Hope this helps!

PS, if you use a razor, then you have bigger issues. I don't know what to think of the moron who suggested that.

First thing to try is a hair dryer. Apply direct heat to the stickers and this should get the glue of the sticker nice and melted. From there you should be able to peel them right off. DO NOT SCRAPE them or your paint is as good as gone. If you can not do it with a hair dryer then you can go to any shop that makes signs. They will have a heat teal that is made for getting those types of stickers off.
Good Luck.

Make the dealer remove it, and ask for a detail at the same time. If they will not remove it, then you can use a heat gun or a hair dryer to heat the sticker. It will loosen the glue, and you can remove it easily. You can use a Magic Eraser to get the rest of the glue off. Good Luck.

I have been given mine off whilst it grew to become into approximately ninety 5 out and in basic terms picked at it with my fingernail till it got here off. I took my trademarks off via heating it with a hair dryer and working some fishing line at the back of it to interrupt the carry. while you're set on doing it now and it particularly is not warm on your portion of the states, hair dryer and goo long gone to do away with the adhesive left at the back of. verify you wax over it the place the decal grew to become into once you do, there is in many circumstances not a layer of wax at the back of the decal.

Goof-Off and Goo Gone are both adhesive removers and work great. Neither of them will hurt your paint as long as you clean the surface thoroughly when you're done.

Use a heatgun or haridryer to get it off. Then use a rubbing compound (found at any auto store) to get the gunk off. Do not use too much rubbing compound though.

Go back and ask them to remove it or ask them to pay you for being their billboard on wheels. A friend of mine refused to buy a car unless the dealer would remove their logo. The dealer agreed to remove it w/out much hassel.

Take some lighter fluid and soak the letters. Then carefully use a razor blade and peel them off. Wash with soap and water. Done!

Fingernail polish remover, as long as your car isn't plastic... if it is plastic, try to use a buffer type wax and good old fashoned elbow grease.

Peel it off while using a hot air blow dryer!

I've always removed them -- it's fast!
