Re: ugly dealer decals!!!
Are you talking about window decals regarding the vehicle's sale? or what?
Easiest way is with some Invisble Glass (aerosol glass cleaner) and a razor. |

Re: ugly dealer decals!!!
Hair dryer or heat gun..but if you use a heat gun be careful not to heat it up too much.

Re: ugly dealer decals!!!
Unless they changed the adhesive,
I used to take hot water (from a hot water heater will work) from a hose to soften the decal, and it will come off.

Re: ugly dealer decals!!!
You find Mach's & other Fords at chevy dealers because they want to sell something & stay in business!

Re: ugly dealer decals!!!
You gotta tell you're dealer to remove it, so you don't get a headache thinkin' about it! Luckily, mine was on home turf, and sticker free:HOPPY:

Re: ugly dealer decals!!!
I got mine from a ford dealership and they put a decal on it. One of those thick gel covered ones. I was lucky as they had just put it on the car I took it off as soon as I got it. It came right with no problem, I just it didn't have a chance to set.

Re: ugly dealer decals!!!
I had a dealer sticker on mine. It peeled right off the day after I bought it. I used some Goo Gone to remove the left over adhesive. Like I want to drive around with a car dealers name plastered on the back.

Re: ugly dealer decals!!!
I have used the plastic razor blades, the best thing from experience is fingernails. I pick them off then clean with 3M adhesive remover if needed. Should be able to find it at home depot or lowes.

Fishing line or dental floss work also. Not everyone has a spare guitar string laying around

Re: ugly dealer decals!!!
Yall must have some strong decals. Any dealer decals I've had to take off have come right off with my fingernails. I finished up with some quick spray to get the rest of the adhesive.

Re: ugly dealer decals!!!
Wax and grease remover will take that sticker right off, make sure you wipe and wash the are you put the chemical on afterwards though.

Re: ugly dealer decals!!!
A local Chevy dealership buys all the V8 Mustangs they can find. They know they'll sell them. Normally sell within two weeks. They've never had a Mach on the lot for more than 4 days. I'm good friends with the guy who runs the recon shop so I get a phone call everytime they buy a Mustang.
As far as the sticker goes, I bought mine from a Ford dealership and removed the sticker within 48 hours. They're not paying me to advertise. I upset a salesman one time when he tried to put there license plate frame on the car. I told him to keep it because I'll just take it off as soon as I got home.

Re: ugly dealer decals!!!
I always tell the dealers to remove that crap or I won't make the sale. Let them deal with messing up the paint job. Since I ordered my Mach while I was in Iraq I called the dealership and told them under no circumstances did I want any of their logos on my car.
