Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / April 2004Removing the dealer sticker from the trunk
I recently bought a new maxima, and it has the name of the dealer on the back. It is like a white sticker, but each letter is seperate (its not just one big sticker) I want to remove it. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can do it without removing the paint? Thanks! Wait for a hot day and let the car sit in the sun. It should just peel off then. I am assuming this is a sticker and not plastic with double sided tape (i.e. emblem type). If your up north and short on hot days use a hair dryer and slowly heat it up. If it is a emblem type sticker then use the heat trick and some fishing line to saw it off. You will also need some goo-gone or bug and tar remover for the residue.

Thanks warner.. I'll try that... its the sticker type, no emblem. I'll probably try the hair dryer thing now just because I can't wait for summer... its probably the biggest, ugliest sticker I've ever seen.

I did this on my 96 to remove the stickers on the door pilars and it worked just fine. The door pilars faded pretty fast being that they are a sticker and all. Warner > Thanks warner..

I removed my singlular dealer sticker quite by accident (though happily so) with a high pressure wash gun, like those at the car wash. My home unit is only 1500psi but did the trick. I think you need to approach the sticker from the side, and make sure you aren't using the gun tip that can remove paint! >I want to remove it.

And next time have it written in your contract that you WILL NOT accept a car with any stickers or dealer advertising affixed to it. > I recently bought a new maxima, and it has the name of the dealer on the > back.

Just take it back to the dealer and have them remove it. I've never had a dealer give me a problem with that. Jeff Technique used by modders when "skinning" a car... slip a length of fishing line behind the badge and "slice" through the sticky tape. Then use some bug-and-tar cleaner (naptha, basically) to get the residual sticky-stuff followed with a polish and wax.. I imagine it helps to leave it in the sun, or warm it with a hair dryer first.
