Tips for removing dealer sticker on tailgate?

There is a small dealer sticker on my tailgate that I'd like to remove. I would assume that it is fairly easy to remove probably by simply pealing by hand but is there anything I should/could use in case there is any left over residue or potentially a "sun stain" of sorts from being there for a couple of years?

 

Apply a bit of heat with a hair dryer, slowly peel back. Use Goo Gone to remove adhesive.

 

goo gone is great. Just wash it off after

 

Heat gun on low. And take your time. The faster you try and heat it the sticker will become so weak it will break apart and leave behind the adhesive as you pull it off. Use just enough heat to get it to lift away and it should all come off in one piece.

 

As stated before, a little heat and it should peel right off.

I took mine off within a month of ownership. I used a blow dryer on low heat and low speed settings. Heated for about 30sec, and the sticker peeled right off, no residue left behind.

 

Heat gun or hairdryer, warm up and peel away.

Use a eraser wheel, quick and easy and wont damage the paint.

Apply vasaleine to the sticker and let is sit about an hour. Depends on the type of sticker it should slide right off.

 

I used a hairdryer and 3M adhesive remover, worked great and no residue. Make sure to give it a nice polish afterwards.

 

+1 for hair dryer. I used a car adhesive remover from turtle wax. It’s citrus based and safe on car paint.

 

Rubbing alcohol is also good for removing sticker residue.

I'm not sure about goo gone, if it has grit in it, it will damage your paint! (I may be thinking of something else, maybe orange off)

 

if you're averse to chemicals then use the 3M Eraser Wheel, find it on Amazon. made to be safe for paint. I used it to debadge those big nasty Pro side badges, took about 90 seconds per side no chemicals, no washup, and perfect.

Heat and peel with hair dryer, use a plastic scraper or plastic credit card is necessary. Use WD40 to remove excess glue/sticky. Clean off WD40 with GlassPlus (has no ammonia), apply wash etc. Been doing this for many years for removing Dealer decals, and debagging emblems!

 

Goo Gone is great stuff. No abrasives.

 

Rubbing alcohol removed the adhesive residue much faster than GooGone on my TRD SPORT stickers.

 

Wash the area first to remove any dirt. Then if you have dark paint park in the sun. That could be all the heat you need.

 

80 grit sandpaper work best.

 

Replace tailgate.

 

This is absolutely retarded advice that will leave people with scratched paint.

One of the dealbreakers I tell a salesman when I new truck shopping is if you put that shitty advertising sticker on my truck you lose the deal. It's worked for the last 4 vehicles I bought, there has been no dealer stickers of any sort. I guess if they pay me like 99$ a month I'll advertise for them , but untill that day comes , dont put that shit on my truck.

 

I second that. Your fingernail is about as hard as you wanna get.... if you heat it right, you shouldn't need a scraper.
