Quoted: NExt time you buy asnew car, do what I did....I told the salesman to have that removed before I signed the papers. The loss of the commission is motivation enough for him to get someone at the dealership to do it. And if they mess up the paint job, don't sign...[:D

I always have them removed before I take delivery. No free advertising from me!

One of the many shit jobs I had in my youth was new car prep at a dealership. We would wash and inspect cars for delivery, and put the damn stickers on. (and prep cars for showroom, wash customers cars - at least I didn't have to chase shopping carts
)
Every once in a while a customer would insist they take the sticker off - once in a blue moon some paint would come off with it when e did so. FWIW, we just used high pessure water, as the adhesive usually hadn't set too much. The important thig is, if the dealership (we) fucked it up, they painted it and make it right. If you fuck it up, you have to fix the paint job you ruined.
My last car, I only agreed to the sale after they said they would remove the stickers. The next day I go to pick it up - the stickers (yes, TWO of 'em) were still there. I raised HELL at that dealership. The dealer was like, "it will just peel off."
I told him, "Well, if it was so FUCKING EASY, why haven't you been able to get it done in over 24 HOURS!"
It ended up coming off easy, but I was not about to risk taking paint off once I drove it home.
