I just picked up my new truck and promptly drove 600 miles in it the first day.Everything about it is better than expected except the ugly stickers (advertising their name) the dealership placed right above the XLT badges on the fenders. I can see that these stickers will peel off easily enough, but there will be a bunch of glue left behind. Does anybody know how I can remove this stuff without damaging the painted surface?? Thanks.
BTW, I guess I should update my signature if I can figure out how now that I am a proud owner of an F150!!

 

A product called Goo-Gone works really well. I've used it on a few different cars, never leaves a mark. It's based on citrus, smells like oranges.

WD-40 also works, but not as well as Goo Gone. No matter what you use to dissolve the adhesive, make sure you wax that area/panel. The solvent will take off whatever wax protection there is.

 

i was able to put some good elbow grease into it and poof it was gone. and for the sig go to profile i belive.

Thanks for the tips. I've never heard of Goo Gone in Canada, but I'm going to try to find some tomorrow. Gotta get rid of those ugly stickers!

 

You can try Turtle Wax bug and Tar remover too - it's available at any Canadian Tire Store.

Thanks guys...WD-40 did the trick. Liquid millwright I used to call it at the sawmill years ago. I just didn't realize the extent of it's usefulness. Afterward, I applied a bit of wax to the area and...presto! No more unsightly stickers! Besides, I hate giving free advertising to some car dealership. Thanks all....

 

For future reference-- Saw a product called Un-Du in Walmart's automotive section, today. It was specifically for adhesive sticker/decal removal. Price was $5.48.
