Thumbs up

its easy bro use a hair dryer (take from girlfriend or mom ) then heat it up dont hold to close you dont wanna hurt paint. then cut you nails and file them (so they are sharp ) and pic the lil peices off, then once all the big stuff is off use some wax and apply it (use some elbow grease) and the rest should come off then use a microfiber towel and wipe it off , and re apply i did it to my redline to debadge should'nt be any different gl bro

here is a pic of what i did

"Blaster" sticker and adhesive remover works quite well. Make sure you follow the instructions and let it sit awhile before you rub on it and it should remove it nicely....

The hairdryer method would work just as good though....

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just incase someone didn't know.... Goof-off, paint thinner, and other petrolium based chemicals can damage your clear coat and their use is not advised. I suggest some automotive bug/tar remover or some good old fashioned wax and elbow grease. My car came from the dealership with some rather tacky black pinstripes... ya' know... the universal ones that you see on just about every car. I peeled them off and then washed the car. The remaining sticky I got off with wax and elbow grease. Yeah, it took a little sweat.... but it worked out fine.

yea
do not let anything sit on there for more than a few seconds, or you may be looking at primer
try goof off, alcohol pads, or any gentle adhesive remover
plus a little heat will help

take your time and be careful

The Un-Du Adhesive Remover is the best IMO.

http://un-du.com/

I can remove adhesives and stickers. It then evaporates so the sticker can be used again. I use it to remove old thermal paste on computer processors. I have yet to have it destroy or damage any surface I have used it on.

I think its found at Pep Boys and Walmart.

Try rubbing alcohol, or Tropi-Care Big Orange Cleaner works great on sticky stuff like glue, gum, tar, etc.

WD-40+Goo Gone worked perfectly for me. It just takes a little bit of time.

goo gone works great...just got to let it sit for a few minutes. And make sure to wash it off good once done. Ive used it to remove emblems on about 6 cars and have never had a problem. Heating them up slightly with a hairdryer does wonders as well.

i'm actually getting small bumpers put on my ss s/c because i park at work in a parking lot and at school in a parking lot... and what i've learned in the past is that people suck , and they don't care about your car. It may take away from the look a little, but i think it'll help.

I've worked at body shop's and you can use thinner if your careful, but not to many people would use it correctly thats why I recommended starter fluid Pretty much harmless to the paint
