    everyone is giving good advice except on how to remove the residual adhesive from the sticker. Use goo gone after you peel the sticker off, stuff works fantastic with a micro fiber cloth at removing the adhesive. Also works good for overspray from plasti dip.

    Aw man I had some trouble with that goo gone. I used it and it did work but I must've been too eager to get the adhesive off because it took a little elbow grease. But it's all good now, she's successfully debaged. Thanks for the info!

    I debadged my 2014 today, I used about 3 packages of dental floss then used my thumb to get the big pieces of adhesive and then Goo Gone to clean up what was left afterward. You have to let the Goo Gone sit for about 5min before working it with a cloth to let it do it's magic.

    Didn't use a heat gun, I just let it sit in the sun. I will need to hit the spots with some rubbing compound and then wax to make it perfect.

    I used a heat gun and a plastic spatula to get the logo off, then 3M adhesive remover and those blue shop paper towels to get the glue. I don't recommend that method.

    The spatula worked fine but left a lot of glue behind, and the 3M / towel combo dulled the finish so I had to polish it with Scratch-X. It looks fine now though, no visible defects.

    I wouldn't recommend using either of those on paint.

    Didn't affect the paint or clear coat at all, and I was done in a matter of minutes : )

    I just left mine parked in the sound for a few hours then peeled the sticker off with my fingernail. Came off in about 4 big pieces. A little goo-gone to clean up what was left of the adhesive, then a wash and wax of the area. Easy as pie. Turned the truck around and did the other side an hour or so later.
