Remove Sticky film???

I hate when the dealer puts their little sticker on the back of the car for free advertising...Need to take it off and wondering what would be the easiest way to remove it??? Also gettin off the excess glue left behind??? Any household products, or something someone has worked with before??? Thanks guys....

I don't know how yours looks, but mine was held on by a strip of that padded double sided tape. It was a hot day, so it just peeled off without leaving any residue. I have heard of people using dental floss or fishing line to get right behind it and I think 3M may make an adhesive remover.

While we are on the subject of dealer stickers, AutoMax Nissan in Oklahoma City actually applies their logo as a decal onto the paint. It looks like it probably would never be able to be removed. I'm glad I didn't get my car there!

use a hair dryer and then use some goo-gone to finish it off along with a coat of wax

I used vegetable oil on a cotton towel to remove sticky residue. It came off pretty easily.
