Default Stupid advertisers messed up my trunklid!

Well, I went out to check the mail today and upon walking back up my drive way I noticed something on the trunk of my car. It was an advertisement for some Riggatone(sp?) thing at a local spanish curch. When I went to take it off, it wouldnt. The moisture from the rain the previous night made it stick to my trunk. I went to peal some off, but its leaving parts behind and Im not sure if Ill be able to get it off without damaging the paint. Its like the same material as a postcard, but double sided so images were on both sides. I fawking pissed I want to take a drive to the place and complain but Im not sure if itll do any good.

Its not just a piece of paper. Think of it as if someone put a wet postcard face down with the image touching the trunk, then it dried. The part were the image was printed onto is sticking.

Spray it with water, Goo Gone it, use soap, try a clay bar...itll come off, and I really doubt that itll mess up the paint. :hs:

googone might work. autozone sells a sticker remover. i dont know what it is with stickers. the mexicans that live around here have their cars covered in them. those silly dragon flames and other hideous designs. their money could serve them better if they bought car insurance instead.
