Default How do you remove a dealer silk screen logo? I searched the forum already...

It's not a sticker, but more a silk screen. Just bought a car (MK4 R32), and the previous owner left it on...that won't fly with me. Gotta get it off. It's been garaged its whole life, so I'm not concerned about paint fading, and the logo is pretty small.

Searched the forum, could not find how to do it (probably using wrong keywords, because this has had to come up before).

Also going to debadge, but I know how to do that.

Thanks.

Default is it like thin sticker?

if so, you can use iso alcohol or a label remover (autozone sells some).

you'll need to soak the area, and pull the labels away. i used a wooden skewer (blunt end) to help move the stickers to pull them off.

then polish and apply wax.

Default or try a heat gun

Not sure on how it is stuck on, but if its like most stickers the heat gun will make it fairly easy to pull it off.

Default I was going to try a hair dryer first. It's hard to describe.

It's not like a regular decal...which has some clear parts where there isn't anything printed. On this, there is no plastic backing, just the letters/logo which is stuck to the car. I called it silk screening, but it's obviously not.
