If not a heat gun, try a blow dryer.

Also, WD40 is a good adhesive remover, I've heard.

"goo gone" is a product at your local hardware store. Home Depot, Lowes..

Wipe some goo gone on the sticker, let sit for 5 min, then wipe off with a non scratch rag. Wash off with soap and water.

WD40 is your best bet... I know it sounds weird, but it works amazingly well.

Also amazingly well at eventually eating your clear coat and paint; if you don't clean off remaining oil. Which is fun because WD40 is meant for water displacement .. Almost half the can is Hexane which is close to Kerosene.

+1 for Goo Gone, safe for your car, smells like oranges and works well!

Get the monkey from Kirkland ford to remove that ****. Not speaking to you specifically because you want it gone....but i don't understand how some people go out and buy a brand new 40 thousand dollar vehicle and let the dealership vandalize their car by glueing on their dealership name on your cars paint.

Before i leave i would say take that **** of or pay me.

Would a clay bar not take off the residue? If you go the route of WD40 (which does work), immediately wash the affected area with dawn, and apply a wax/sealant to the section on the car.
