How do you remove those dealer stickers?
I bought a new car and has that stupid dealer sticker on the back.
Can I use googone and hair dryer to get it off? I don't think I can use dental floss since it's a thin sticker. I guess I have to carefully peel it off with my fingers?

It depends on what type it is...
The vinyl stickers are very easy. You can gently get a corner with your fingernail and peel from there. Though it's best done when warm. A paint cleaner will easily remove any residue.
The solid ones are a bit trickier. I've used fishing line and some sort of handle (like a thick dowel, nothing sharp that could scratch the paint if it accidentally came in contact) with great success. Just wrap some fishing line behind that logo and around the 'handle.' As you pull straight out and create more of a gap, feed some more fishing line in there and around the handle. It's also good the get the glue warmed up. I've used a hair dryer for this. Those that I've pulled off never left much reside that a paint cleaner couldn't easily handle, but others have suggested goo gone.
Good luck!

Dealer logos on the car are the WORST. I always tell them "if you put your logo on my new car you'll have to find me a new one because I won't take it."
I had a friend many years ago who bought a new Camaro (the last body style) when it first came out. The dealer put his logo on it even though he asked for them not to. On top of that it was a plastic emblem with two posts on the back that they drilled holes into the car to mount - similar to how the "H" Honda emblem attaches on the front and back of the S2K.
