Default Decal Removal

What is the best way to remove a decal from the body? Some of the letters in my Rubicon decal on the drivers side are coming off and I want to remove it completely and replace it.

My brother did his with Goo gone came right off and I have see where a hair dryer/heat gun will assist you with it as well. Do a search there has been threads on this very topic. Good luck.

Peel em off using a hair dryer and WD 40 will get the residue off. Just make sure you wipe off all excess WD40 afterwards.

hair dryer is good , i used a heat gun to remove my dealers sticker, that was actually cool enough if they'd have put it on straight, as it was all black, but they didn't.
I then used Meguiar's Deep Crystal paint cleaner to remove residue, no need at that time for the Deep Crystal polish, and then the Meguiar's Gold Class wax.

On a new vehicle, a hair dryer works great, but if ever you need to remove decals that have been on for a while, 3M makes 2 great products (one for the sticker itself and one for the glue and residue) it is usually available in parts stores or body and paint supplies shops.
I don't remember the name though but 3M makes it
