Best way to remove dealer decal?

Just picked up a new graphite shadow G37xs Coupe. It has one of this dealer decal stickers on it. What's the best way to remove without it leaving anything behind?

I just bought my Sport coupe last week and took the decal off as soon as I got home, I used a plastic razor and goo gone with a micro fiber towel. I also took off all the badging on the back as well with the same stuff. Not hard just make sure you get the citrus goo gone. Other stuff will mess with your paint.

WD40 and a rag works as well.

you can use a blow dryer to heat up the sticky stuff then pull it off slowly. follow it up with some wax or polish and you'll be fine

^ This. Just take it back to the dealer and ask them to remove it. Should have just asked them to remove it before driving off the lot lol.

This method looks pretty intense, dont got those tools ontop of that. Think I will try the hair dryed plus with some the citrus goo gone.

I would take it to the dealer, but they are an hour away. Didnt think of it at the time.

Heat gun or a hair dryer, the badges almost fall off, then just rub the left over glue with your thumb and a bit of goo gone or alcohol, I stripped the back end in about 20 min.

I just peel them off with my fingernails, carefully. It takes a bit of time, and as said above, remove any residual glue with goo gone, then give a nice coat of wax.
Hair dryer would be okay to heat up the glue, I would stay away from a heat gun unless you have a good amount of experience with one, can get the paint too hot with a 1200 degree gun and then get cracks and shrinkage.

Heat gun, dental floss (if it is a raised logo), goo gone!
