Ford Explorer: Remove dealer's name

Remove dealer's name
The dealer's small ad banner is on my Ford Explorer's lower left liftgate.
It appears to be a decal--glued or otherwise sealed on. How do I safely
remove it without ruining the paint beneath? Thanks.

It will probably just peel like colorforms. Be patient and work it.

Go to the self service car wash and on soap (hot water) spray it real close
and it will peel right off glue and all. Worked for me.

Heat the decal with a hair dryer and peel off. The heat loosens the glue
and helps the decal/emblem release.

Use a hair dryer on it to loosen the glue then just peel it off.

I go with the hair dryer solution. Also, if there is any residual
sticky you can use the hand cleaner that mechanics use that comes in what
looks like a margarine tub. I use that all the time on store price labels
where they always stick them on mirrors, book covers, etc. It gets every
bit off sticky off very easily and quickly. Just remember to take plain
water to remove the hand cleaner after you've gotten the sticky off.

Re: Remove dealer's name
Remember the days when the dealer would actually drill holes in your trunk
lid to bolt-on the metal dealer nameplate? That used to drive my dad crazy.
Once he refused delivery of a car cuz they drilled those holes and mounted
that tag - and he had told them previously not to. The deal is that in
those days it wound up being the first place the car would rust.
Of course these days they use nametags that are either just stickers, or
mount on with mounting foam tape. Easy to get off. And, no rust if you
leave it on!
I take them off.

WD40 also works great for cleaning off residual glue from decals.

Re: Remove dealer's name
I ALWAYS tell dealers that I refuse to accept any vehicle with any vehicle
advertising anywhere...including the license frame. Nevertheless, I have
purchased cars where it's already on. On new cars, however, those decals
usually peel right off so it's no big deal. Yeah, I remember when they used
to drill them on. Now THAT was permanent!
