What You’ll Need:
- Heat gun or blowdryer
- Razor blade
- Cloth or rag
- Glass cleaner

Step 1: Heat the Area
Start by using a heat gun or blowdryer on the sticker. This will help to soften the adhesive so it’s easier to remove.
Step 2: Gently Peel the Sticker
Start at one corner and slowly peel the edge of the sticker away from the car. Be sure to use a razor blade to help score the edges and make it easier to remove the sticker.
Step 3: Clean the Area
Once the sticker has been removed, use a cloth or rag to clean the residue off the car. Make sure you cover the entire area to ensure all adhesive has been removed.
Step 4: Apply Glass Cleaner
To make sure all the adhesive is gone, apply glass cleaner to the area. This will help to break down any leftover adhesive and make it easier to remove.
Step 5: Clean with Rubbing Alcohol
Finally, use rubbing alcohol to give the area one final clean. This will help to remove any remaining residue and restore the surface of your car.
By following these steps, you should easily be able to remove a dealership sticker from your car. Just remember to take your time and be careful – any damage inflicted to the paintwork of your car can be difficult and expensive to repair.
