    Removed front mud flaps.
    Zippo lighter fluid will help you get the sticker to release enough to peel it next time. It is especially good at removing residue in seconds. Way better than Goo Gone or similar products.

    Just pour some on the area, pour a little on your rag, and rub that shit right off.

    And it's cheap as hell.

    I even unpinstriped my old Jeep with the stuff.

    Next time heat it up with a blowdryer or leave out in the sun for a while and it will peel right off. As for the little stickies left over use goo gone or some kind of rubbing compound.

    sorry to hear that..Depends if it will buff out or not, how deep the blade etches are, etc..I am sure it should be fine though. Try using Goof-off, Goo-gone, or get some 99% isopropyl alcohol works just as good if not beater, cheaper too. Then bust out the buff compound and go from there.

    I don't know. I'm not really a fan of the TRD stickers. If I had a TRD model, I would have removed the stickers.... but not with a razor.

    Try using some of that goo-gone product. It has a orange sent and is not a harsh chemical like goof-off.

    For that adhesive residue that sticks around I recommend Hexane. Better than goo-gone. Plus I can't stand that God awful smell of rotten oranges.
