Kinda a dumb question
The dealership my camaro came from put one of those lovely dealership vinyls on the rear bumper of my SS. What is the safest way to remove it without hurting the paint so my car doesnt say Big M Chevrolet anymore?

I used a heat gun and got it hot, then slowly peeled it off and used some goo gone on the residue left over.

hair dryer works too. Wave it back and forth, about 6-8 inches over the decal/sticker till it's easy to pull off. Wash the spot and wax it when done.
I had one of those gel stickers on mine from the dealer.

Go to an Auto parts store and get a bottle of OOPS!! Peel off the vinyl. Then with a paper towel put some OOPS on it. Gently rub the area til the sticky stuff is gone!! Very easy to do!!

Thank you. I was thinking about trying a hair dryer but didnt know if it would work the same. Gonna go outside with the hair dryer and some alcohol and hope my neighbors dont think Ive lost my mind.
