Wax and Grease remover works best for removing the glue.

A more fun way of removing decals is with your fingernails. If after repeated attempts, and a few beverages, they don't come off, it is easier to just buy another car. Another tip form beyond common sense.

Napa sells the plastic razor blades and they work great along with a little heat.

I use a heat gun, and I don't pull up on them. They seem more prone to come apart that way. Fold them over and pull straight back on them has worked best for me. Taking several off mine this weekend.
I usually take the glue off with a shop towel damp with Safety Kleen parts washing solvent, and WD40 works pretty well. Not as fast but does work.

Hair dryer or heat gun. Just finished taking them off the Cuda. Painfully long, just put some tunes on and take your time. Tar and bug remover works ok for excess glue.

I was told to try Easy Off Oven cleaner and I was a little afraid of the paint on the car being damaged.
However, I tried it and it works pretty well. You must rubber gloves but it did not damage the paint at all. It is also much easier and faster than WD-40. You will need a good supply of soft rags or soft shop paper towels. I used it and it works. My 2 Cents Rick Cates |

The hair dryer then a coat of Goo Gone from Magic American Products,Bedford Heights,Oh. Then plenty of elbow grease. Seems to be more comming off of cars than going on these days. That trick of getting clothing lint on the sticky side of the new decal does work well.

I would use a hair dryer before the heat gun, you can bubble paint with a heat gun with no problem at all. A hair dryer is without a doubt your safest bet. I use regular gasoline for glue removal and have done it on hundreds of cars over the years. If you have static electricity issues in your area use the wd40, but be prepared to be patient. I have never had an issue with using the gas but I am also very cautious when using it. It will not hurt your paint......least it never has hurt anything i've used it on.
