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.

    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.

    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!
