GEN 2 Help With Hood Decals Bubbling And Creasing - Searched - This is beyond popping bubbles

If you're still within warranty, Ford might cover this.

i called 2 dealerships NOT covered. I will never buy a truck with these decals they dont last.

Exactly. If it's an OEM graphic and you're within warranty, should be covered. At least ask them.

yeah they DONT! i have that ********* Celijet it doesnt cover either

Find another dealer. My dealer put a claim into Ford and replacement is covered. This is what mine look like for reference.

Back again.... I removed the hood graphics (stickers, graphics just sounds better) while they cam off pretty clean I was left with residue that I had to scrape off without damaging the paint, took hours.

I now have the same problem on the rear fenders, these are coming off on their own and are NOT coming off clean at all.

Seems like a 2019 problem. Thanks for the advise on getting them back on from the dealer but it seems like I'll just go through this every few years.

For now my question is How do I get the residue off easily without damaging the paint? assuming that others have gone through the same.

Have you tried wax

Wax and grease remover from and auto body supply store. Then wash, clay and reapply wax.

Maxima SC-1, takes off any type of sticker / decal glue or residue. You can get it at any dirt bike shop.

my buddy who is a detailing geek suggested Citrol as I was worried about the paint, helped a little but was not a game changer.
