Credit card.

Heat up the sticker with a hair dryer, then take the edge of a credit card and try to get an edge of the sticker up off the surface. Apply more heat and it should peel right off. Then use Goo Gone to remove any excess glue left behind.

Depending on your car's color and paint, you might find the paint underneath to be in better condition than the rest of the car.

as long as you don't do something stupid like use a razor blade or SOS pad, you shouldn't damage your paint.....as for goo-gone, it's available in the cleaning aisle of every major retail store in America (ie Walmart, etc)

I honestly just peeled mine off with my fingers. I started a one corner and slowly worked my way to the next. All that was left was the residue which I just polished off.

You can use a rubber wheel on a drill. Or just try to peall it off.

they make plastic "razor blades" that look like a blade you would put in the thing to take off reg stickers. you use the same tool, its just plastic so it doesnt damage paint but still has a good edge for scraping
