Stupid question...
So, I'm thinking this is probably a really stupid question but I honestly don't know!
How do you get off the decal put on by the dealership you got your truck from?? Like, the "sticker" that has the name of the dealership...

Get hot water and soak it with a terry cloth towel and rub onto the sticker, then attempt to peel off........if not, try a blow dryer and heat the sticker up......then try to slowly peel it off. Heat makes the adhesive come off easiler. Goodluck

If it's a new car (or new to you) take it back to the dealership service department and ask them to remove it. They will. If it's not, then sometimes you can take them to places like Auto Zone or your local auto parts store and they will take it off.
That being said, I have removed several over the years. Sometimes they will just pop off and you can use some kind of remover to get the glue off just be sure not to use so much that you damage your clear coat or your paint. I have seen people heat them up with a hairdryer and use fishingline or dental floss to drag behind the badge and get it off too. Theres tons of ways to get them off.
Good Luck.

If it's a sticker, a blow dryer works best.
