Really Stupid Question..But I need help

Hey guys i wanted to talk the "Mitsubishi" and "GST" stickers along with the Eclipse badge off the car...now im not sure what i should use seeing as how i dont want to ruin the pant or anything so can you let me know what you guys used or what i should use....And I also tried peeling the GST sticker with my finger somewhat but thats gonna take too damn long so im looking for something easy. I know this is a stupid question but I'm new with this.

You take dental floss, and move it back and forth. It will slide between the sticker and paint, and all you have to worry about after that is the glue it leaves behind. I just did this to my Talon like 8 hours ago. Took about 2-3 hours total, because I had stickers on the side panels too. 16V DOHC Turbo

If you know any shops in the area that do decals or any vinyl work. they will have a tool that is something like a slightly coarse sponge. it's attatched to a compressor and spins around and takes off the decal like a sander would. But does absolutely no damage to your paint. just whipe it off with a cloth and you're good. a typical shop will do this for free or maybe 3 bucks if they were retarded. The dental floss works too. Try that and use goo gone to get rid of the rest of the glue

It works with the stickers, you can't take off the thin stickers like TALON i don't know if eclipse is the same. I've heard of people using Brakleen to scrub off the tail light stickers, im talking about the ones on the body of the car.

The best thing to do is get a hair dryer to get those stickers and decals off. works like a dream, and is very quick

You're a little late.
Anyways, a high pressure wash with HOT water will take it off in a heartbeat. I watched one of my boys take his off by accident at a car wash. He held the water on it for about 5 seconds and it was on the ground with just a little bit of glue left on it. A little longer with the water takes the glue off.
