Dealership emblems are common on most vehicles and are typically the dealership's way of utilizing your vehicle for advertisement, or showing the make and model of your vehicle. If you don't like the look of the dealership emblems on your vehicle they can be removed with a few tools and some easy-to-do steps. Learn how to properly remove emblems from your vehicle to ensure you don't compromise the paint job or cause any other damage to your car.
Set your blow dryer on medium heat and blow heat on the emblem for five minutes. This will help loosen up the glue on the back of the sticker. Let the area cool for a minute so that it is warm to the touch, but not so hot that it burns your fingers.
Use your fingernail or a plastic knife to peel off the emblem. Peel the emblem away gently to ensure it doesn't rip or tear.
Spray any leftover glue with some WD-40 and let it sit on the glue for five minutes, then use a damp terry cloth towel to wipe away leftover adhesive. Repeat these steps until all the glue is gone, then rinse the area clean with some mild soap and water.
Blow dry the emblem on a medium heat setting for five minutes and let the area cool off until it has cooled off enough to touch.
Take your clear thread and pull it underneath your emblem from the top all the way to the bottom to slide through the thick adhesive and remove the plastic emblem from your car.
Spray the adhesive with WD-40 liberally and let the WD-40 sit 10 minutes, then spray the area again and let sit for another 10 minutes. Plastic emblems typically have thicker adhesive than stickers, so you'll need to keep the area soaked in WD-40 for a longer period of time to break up the adhesive.
Use a plastic knife to gently scrape away any adhesive. For adhesive that won't scrape away, continue soaking with WD-40 until it is loosened up enough to remove. Wash the area with some mild soap and water once all adhesive is gone.
