i am in the decal buisness and the easiest way for someone at home is to use a hairdryer and heat up the decal a little to release the adhesive then pull it off. shouldnt take to long. if there is any glue residue brakeclean or any solvent will take it off, just wash it with plenty of soap and water after and dont go scrub crazy on the paint. if you are afraid to use a solvent, plain old isypropyl alcohol works too, just takes a little more elbow grease is all

hope that helps

Goof Off is some STRONG stuff!! I hope you re waxed the area, cause I promise you it took any protective layer the factory might have put on. I used windex on mine and it worked great.
