Default logo on back of car

I have this chrome label on my car from the dealer that I bought it from. I wanted to remove it. I am afraid that I will jack up the paint. Has anyone successfully removed one of these? If so, how? Thanks for the help

Warm it up with a hair dryer and pry it off. Use WD40 on a rag to get the glue residue off.

Don't forget to protect the paint once you've completed removal with a coat of wax or similar treatment

If you don't want to use a heat gun, you can also run a strand of dental floss between the back of the logo and the body, using it to "saw" through the adhesive pad. Then, use WD40, GooGone, or another similar product to remove the residue. Good luck!

I've done it with a heat gun/hair dryer to heat the adhesive up. Then use floss to get it off. WD40 to get off the remaining glue. Meguiar's scratchX to take off any bigger scratches formed. Then a coat of light polish for small swirls. Then a coat of wax.
