Default Dealer sticker removal

What is the best way to do this? It is on the painted (brand on the ****). Yes I know it was a terrible sin, but the deal was just too good to pass up the car over a sticker.

Warm it up with a hair dryer and peel slow!

I agree. Warm it with a hair dryer and peel it away. If it leaves any sticky residue, use a little Goo Gone on a rag and it will come right off,

Have the dealer remove it or you can use a hair dryer to heat it up a bit and then it should come off pretty easy. If it is the plastic or metal type, you could also use a piece of strong fishing line and kind of saw it off.

I had the same problem with a hard plastic dealer logo. I let it set out in the sun for a while then I separated a wooden clothes pin into two pieces and sharpened the back end of the clothes pin just a bit. I very slowly worked the back edge of the clothes pin under the edges of the logo until I managed to pry it off without damaging the paint.
