So my new baby has the dealer's name, city, and phone number painted on. How can I get it off without damaging the factory paint?

 

Heat it with a heat gun and use a soft plastic razor blade and it should peel right off. Other than that you can try a good pressure washer and it should eat it off and one time shouldn't hurt the paint.

 

i work at a body shop n the way we remove things like that with an eraser wheel. you can hook this on to a cordless drill. doesn't damage the paint. you will need a little adhesive remover to wipe away excess. But if its like an emblem, use a heat gun/hair dryer and you can peel away the tape they used to stick it on with ur fingers adhesive remover willmake it softer and easier to peel off. or u can just use the eraser wheel on the tape after u removed the emblem. lolz sounds harder than it really is.

 

I just peeled the vinyl letters off or whatever the dealer crap was with my fingers. They came off pretty easy, but I did it very soon after I got my car new so I doubt it was on there very good.

 

I sprayed on and around mine with water and soap and peeled it off with my finger nails. I did it carefully and I didn't damage anything.

I used Turtle Wax: Bug & Tar remover to get the excess off.
