    My vehicle came with dealer vinyl lettering. I removed them but there is some adhesive left behind. Does anyone have a good suggestion on what to use to remove it?

    WD40, mist some on, let it sit for a few minutes then wipe with a rag. May take a few applications, but WD works great for removing adhesive.

    I've actually had pretty good luck with http://www.turtlewax.com/product-detail.aspx?prodid=82

    Just spray it and let it set for a bit and start peeling with your fingernail if it is thick adhesive sticker tape. A heat gun (hair dryer will do in a pinch) will also speed up the process

    Careful with rubbing alcohol. I stripped the clear coat on my tailgate using it.
