    Hey people I was wondering if someone knew a good way to take off a dealer sticker like the ones carmax puts on their cars. I debadged my car today but I couldn't take off that sticker and its driving me nuts. I tried the same way I took off the badges but its still on there and I got some off but a little bit of paint came off. Any advise would be very much appreciated.

    Go and find yourself an eraser wheel, it's a great little toy to have. They are only $8 or so, you can find them at almost any automotive store.

    I just looked up the eraser wheel and it looks like a very good option from what I've been reading.

    They are awesome, you really have to try to wreck the paint with them. Lots of little rubber crap everywhere but nothing a wash can't clean up.

    i worked at a dealership for an entire summer and the way we took off stickers like that and bumper stickers is get a hair dryer and heat up the sticker then u cane peel it off. ONLY use ur fingernails do not use anything else. After you can use adhesive remeover to get the sticky gunk left behind off.
