Ooh! Not good on paint. I scratched my Trailblazer because I was in a hurry and didn't go in the house to get some dental floss. Never again with a razor blade.

Most dealers in California use the licence plate frames. We've kept our front frame on the car, but used our club frame on the back... the dealership has been extremely good to us, so why not show some sort of thanks and keep it on.

If they use license plate frames or spare tire covers, I tell them I'm going to throw them away as soon as I get the car home. So far it's worked. They get the message.

The first thing I did when I got home from the dealer was remove the vinyl sticker, which I think was the last thing they put on before I picked it up.

Neither our Ocala or Leesburg store uses Vinyl "Dealer Identification" Stickers. We use the tags and frames. But out Bradenton store uses the Vinyl "Dealer Identification" Stickers Tags and Frames......

Just put this on another thread.....

Plastic razor blades and GooGone. Here is a site http://www.scraperite.com/. I've used them before on hardwood floors to take up paint and they work great.
