I'm talking about the GREEN dealership sticker on the left. Any tips on removing it or should I just try to peel it off?

Go to home depot and buy an outdoor generator. Stop and buy 2-cycle oil and gas on the way home. It's gonna cost you a grand to remove that sticker. More if you don't have a hair dryer. Or a gas can. :P

ok why don`t ya just go to ur locla paint supplier store and ask to get dx 440 ppg product
if you have a drill astro makes a rubber wheel that takes off pin strips and all kinds of adhesive
it will be off in like 5 min`s maybe even less

You can also use gasoline on a rag, that works too, that'show I got Lindsey's off.

You sir, are the most ingenious, profound man I've ever had the privilage of meeting. :D

Also, buy some goo-gone. Can be had at walmart I believe... very helpful at removing glue and whatnot like on that sticker...

i used wd-40 and it didn't do anything to the paint...it attacked the glue really good tho :thumbsup:

I peeled mine off, some glue residue was left but now it's all gone.

Use clear coat compound to remove the extra glue from the sticker. It's safe for painted surfaces on new cars. Check the label before you buy, and make sure that it is safe. Some are only good for cars pre 1996

I just grabed a corner and started peeling then i made a fist and used the side of it to rub out the remaning glue. Worked great in a pince out in the rain brfore brining the car the the olds dealership(had a big FORD dealer sticker on the back)

Guess it's up to you. Could give your back a better sense of symettry (abeit by just a bit) but then at least leave the Alero and Olds logo's on (to represent)

If I get an OSV emblem i'll put that where the oldsmobile emblem is.
