sup everyone.....aight well i have a question to ask you all. As you know when you buy your car the dealer stamps there logo on the back. My car says "Chattanooga Lexus". Is there any way that i can take that off and not ruin the paint?


thanks

Try:

3M Adhesive and Tar Remover 8 oz can or
3M Tar & Grease Remover Spray or
3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner Spray


Good luck

Yep, and several other "paint safe" adhesive removers at your local hardware store.

The other alternative is to take it back to the dealer and either make him take it off or pay you to leave it on. I've had many harsh words with dealers about this over the years. I always specify "no dealer ads" (e.g., stickers, plate frames, etc.) as part of the deal but the word never seems to get to the delivery prep people

RAYK;
WHAT HAS WORKED FOR ME, AND I HAVE REMOVED BOTH THE DECAL TYPE AND THE PLASTIC EMBLEM TYPE. GET A HAIR DRYER AND SLOWLY WORK THE HAIR DRYER(HOT AIR) BACK AND FORTH OVER THE DECAL/EMBLEM. AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES THE INSIGNIA WILL JUST PEEEL OFF. IF THER IS ANY RESIDUAL ADHESIVE, USE A LITTLE CAR POLISH/WAX TO REMOVE AND YOU WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO TELL AN INSIGNIA EXISTED.
HOPE THIS HELPS.

first thing:
ron36330 turn off your caps...your hurting my ears...lol

i agree with ron on the use of the hairdryer to remove glue, stickers, tape marks or any form of adhesion from a painted surface...but do not use a heat gun it may do you more harm than good. also once you have the crap removed clean the surface with rubbing alcohol then your can polish it.
