I removed the dealership decal from my 87 Accord and I thought I'd post the way I did it.

What you will need:

2. Heavy Duty Sprudger. Made of tough plastic. $2.95 http://www.ifixit.com/Tools/Heavy-duty-Spudger/IF145-013
3. Cotton pads
4. towel or cloth.

It said "Knödel Motors San Antonio" I took off the K and noticed it wasn't that difficult.

I dipped the flat end of the spudger in the goo gone and began working from one side of the letter to the other.

Almost off. After taking a part of a letter off a little I kept re-dipping the spudger in the goo gone.

Half way done! What I noticed as I was taking it off that is to put the spudger where the letter takes up the least space. of course the smaller letters were easier to take off. It's ok to work around the letter if it has a part thats gonna peel off easy, like the letter "N"

and voila were all done! And not a scratch on her. After all was done I wiped the area with goo gone to make sure all the residue was gone and then waxed the area with the towel.
