Dealer Decal Removal
Hello. The dealer I bought my 2000 S430 from has an ugly decal on the front of the trunk hatch on the left side. Is there anyway I can remove without messing up the paint? It needs a paint job anyway. Anyone have an estimate of how much it would cost to repaint?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Is it one of the sticky foils? The best results with cleaning things like that, I have with Brake-Clean. It is not harming the paint and also does not discolor plastic parts. I use to get rid of the terribly sticky pice tags also.

Hair dryer side-to-side about4-6 inches from the decal for about 1-2 minutes.Then use your finger nail to peel a corner up to get it started.Grab the corner with a pair of tweezers and keep moving the hairdryer while you pull it off.95% of the glue should come off with the sticker.

I said Brake Cleaner, the stuff to wash off the grease of new brake rotors
I DID NOT SAY AND RECOMMEND BRAKE FLUID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This would be the end of the paint and then you need a paint job.
