Hairdryer/heatgun. Then some kind of paint cleaner (mothers pre-wax cleaner should be pretty easy to find) or sticker remover (goo gone or something...make sure to wash this off ASAP) to remove the adhesive.

blow dryers work awesome. especially in a hot summer day like today. and goo gone will help with the glue thats left after the sticker comes off.

i took my dealer sticker off pretty yeasy, took the sticker itself off and then goo gone.
TOday i ran into another problem. I took my plastick door pilars off and d@mn... all glue what supposed to come off was in the pillar. it took me about 1 hour to take it off. I tried OPPS!, GOO GONE, LIGHTER FLUID, and even my nail... it was he!!. Did anyone use something stronger than anything above?

never saw ^ stuff, but i finaly removed the film plastic from my door pillars. waxed with eagle one was, and so far looks good.
and yt the way, when u remove a sticker, it's better to buff the surface before waxing, so small scratches will go away

If you have never used goo-gone your in for a treat. We keep it handy for several things that come up around the house. "We have kids"
