Cant decide if I want to take the lettering off mycar. I wanna show off the fact that I have a focus....but..... I dont like the lettering. And it does say focus on thatchrome vent accent crap on the fenders of the car. ( its an 08 focus)

Goo Gone or a any adhesive remover. The use some rubbing compound and wax to clean it up a little better. Sorry I had deleted my post from before its kinda like should I or should I not.... :lol:

yes, do it. the lettering on the 08 looks bad. bige spaced out lettters.
use a putty knife with masking tape on it and soap and water, just stick to it
this is the safer way.

Hairdryer, or a heatgun on low....warm it up, then use some dental floss to cut the adhesive, then use goo-gone and some kind of cleaner wax.

its painter under the ghey vents, and they are also just stuck on with double sided sticky tape. just use a heat gun and take your time.
