I feel like there's a team of boomers in every car company's design department that insists in putting chrome in every car. No one wants crome. Not in rims, not in badging, not around radios, not even on the damn shifter.

[@dingznthingz]

MINERAL SPIRITS! I remove decals and dealer stickers all the time using a heat gun sparingly then cleaning the sticky goo off with mineral spirits. I own and operate a paintless dent repair business. Many of my customers want those gaudy dealer stickers removed. I remove them for free if asked. If a dealership is not paying you for advertising, then don't allow them to advertise on your vehicle. Don't forget to re-apply wax when finished.

[@jonroesler8155]

For the sticker adhesive: 3M Adhesive Remover. I waited almost 4 years and tried several kinds so I'd know if I ever had to do it again, and 3M is the bomb.

I just purchased my 2023 Trd off-road .I needed to get the decals, off ASAP Called my detail guy and he told me the secret to removing decals, without harming the clearcoat or paint .I had no idea it would be WD-40. Works great even if it’s a sunny day outside. took a little elbow grease, but it came off and looks like there was never a decal there. Hope this helps .

[@TacoManD4X4]

It took of the adhesive after the sticker was removed? Did you use a scrubbing pad or anything?
