I hate when dealers slap their label on a car. It's like you paying them to advertise for them.

I'd try some diluted fingernail polish remover followed by alot of water. BUT FIRST test it on a small inconspicuous place like the inside of a door jam to see if it removes the paint.

I hate that so much, I didn't buy from two dealers because of this.....they should pay me for having their labels on MY car.
