I wouldn't think of using WD40. It would indeed be harmful to the paint. Better solutions would be available

Same as mine. I have serviced by car only at Mandovi Motors JP Nagar for the past 4 years. However, I had to request them only at the first service not to advertise on my car. They complied. But to my convenience I still have their stickers on the headlamps. I will be happy to replace with a plain black one if one is available. Has anyone bought such a sticker?

refuse to have them put the number plates on delivery!!

i have always had number plates installed from outside because i hate the nonsense that the dealers put on... that way, i get double bonus - don't get charged 400 bucks for their crappy plates as well as get out of free advertising for them!

cheers!!

Airwind,
Are you sure it was charged for the dealer sticker? I don't think will they charge for it and put it as an item in your service bill, ever. If you were sure about it, you should have asked them about it. Though it's only a matter of 5 Rs, why the hell one needs to pay to stick an advertisement of the dealer on his car? I can't understand this.

Perhaps this is a problem restricted to small cars. In my 8 yrs of Maruti ownership, a sticker appeared everytime I took the car after service. Not just Maruti, it is a problem with wheel alignment centres, accessories and what not. You then have to shout and waste time to get it removed. If it escapes your attention, more wastage of time later. Perhaps someone should sue them for defacing the car.

However, this defacement has not happened with GM (4.5 yrs) and Toyota (1 yr). So perhaps it is a Maruti and Hyundai strategy.
