Picked up a 2019 CPO Pilot yesterday from Gillman in San Antonio and the dealer badge stickers they put on are impossible to remove. It's not a traditional sticker. It's more like a rigid fake chrome sticker that's hard to get a fingernail under. I hit it with a hair drawer for a while last night and only got a couple of letters off. Any other ideas?

Credit rating above 750 on said card.

Would fishing line work?

A little heat from a hair dryer helps as well.

Always make a dealer remove their badging without damaging paint as your final condition of a sale. Have them pull it in to their bay so you can examine the paint under their show lighting after they remove it. They won't push back, if they have a staff worth a damn, their guys will be able to get it off in minutes without doing any harm.

I know it doesn't you this time. But good tip for future buys.

Yep. I always do this while doing the paperwork. Not about to give them free advertising

Yea good idea. It didn't even cross my mind. Usually their stickers come off pretty easily. I'll try it later on today with some fishing line.

Blow Dryer + fishing line....

Blow dryer (or heat gun), fishing line and 3M adhesive remover.

Removed the "FX2" sticker off my F150 this way along with previous dealer stickers and badges.
