Default (help!) Trouble Removing Stickers.

I've got a 2007 dodge ram 2500 and just bought it a year ago. It has a "Snow Chief" (factory I think) sticker on it and I can't get it off. I had the truck in the body shop for one side of the bed(where the stickers are) and the worker had to get off with a razor blade and in turn obviously had to repaint. I've tried getting the other side off with a heat gun and turtle wax but it won't budge. I'm looking for any suggestions of how to get it off without having to repaint or pay someone else to do. Thanks! If I can get it off I will let everyone know.

I used an exacto knife and carefully picked up the corners then use the heat gun, slowly peeling the sticker off.

Did you have the same stickers? I've help the heat gun on it for minutes.... It did absolutely nothing. I just don't want to have to repaint anything, lol I'm broke moving to florida for Bible School.

There are products at auto stores that will remove adhesives or gently use rubbing compound.

I've tried turtle wax sticker remover. The only problem is that it's the whole sticker, not just extra residue left from a sticker

yeah the heat gun usually works for me, like dot #s and dealer stickers but this stubborn mule won't come off! Lol
