What is the best way to remove factory stickers (Type SH and VTEC) and the Carmax sticker from my car?

head gun or smart erase pad which you get from a parts store its just a rubber disc that goes on your drill

heatgun... and if you wanna make the job quicker, some 3M adhesive remover and a plastic razorblade.... then just make sure to thoroughly wax the area when you're done

I use a heatgun on low heat. just be patient. If there is any glue left on the paint use some 3M fine cut rubbing compound, that stuff is great.

i would recommend using a hair dryer. to get the rest of the sticky stuff off use break cleaner/wd 40. Do expect that you will have fading on the paint underneath the sticker and the severity of it will depend on the way you park your car/ the enviroment that you live in/ the age of the paint / how long the decal has been on/ and how well you take care of your car. Depending on the amount of fade i would start using a rubbing compound to a polish to a lighter polish and then finally wax. If this does not give you the results you want try again and if that still doesnt do it for you you might have to try wet sanding with 2000 grit.
this is my job.putting em on n takin em off.best way is with a heat gun.but like the fella says if they've been on a while.paint will still be new underneath.meths gets the glue off if its stays behind.:tup:
