20 miles west of Chicago. | Wet and soak with WD40. Warm sticker with a hair dryer. Don't use a heat gun or get it too hot, just moderately warm. Use a fingernail in a sort of scratching/ slicing motion under a corner of the sticker and continue doing this bit by bit for one helluva long time until it's all off. Keep spraying a little WD40 every few minutes to keep it wet and re warm it with the dryer. When all the sticker is off, use a soft cloth and WD40 to get the adhesive residue off. Clean it with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and apply wax. It takes a while; best to pull the panel off and do it indoors at a table. |

However, I used furniture polish to remove the residue. |

Valdosta, GA | I removed mine at 80mph while northbound on I-75 on my way home from the dealership. It helped that it hadn't been on there that long (bought 3 days after delivery, 27 Sept) and it was a fairly warm day.

Harrisburg, PA | I just removed mine with the hair dryer, and some zippo fuel. Cleaned it up with simple green, polish, then waxed it up. Looks great! |

VA | Goo be gone works well too. It's citrus based, so there's no really bad chemicals, that I know of, in it. We used it on our bathtubs after we moved into our house to remove the liquid nails that the drywallers left behind. I will say though, I expected that sticker to just peel off. Not a chance. I don't know why they thought they needed to use superglue to adhere the sticker.

El Paso, TX | I left mine in the sun one afternoon for a little while. I then used my wifes hair dryer to heat it up some more and was able to peel it right off. It did leave some adhesive residue, but I was able to clean it off with some wd-40. Looks like it was never there now. |
