Started by heating the decal with a hair dryer, then prying with a plastic gift card:

Then I kept the heat on it as I peeled the decal:

This is the goo that was left (got it off with Goo Gone):

Finally, after Mothers cleaner wax then Mguires NXT Tech:

For the rear, heated with hair dryer and used floss to cut through adhesive (two people is easier!):

This junk came off with heat, a bit of gift card scraping, and Goo Gone:

And of course some cleaner wax and sealer wax as with the sides:

This is pretty much all the junk I used:

Sorry about bringing an old thread up, but I figured we probably lost similar information....

The Dental Floss trick is nice. I used that trick also. works everytime

fishing line is better, a little stronger..

I doubled up the dental floss I had. Broke it 2 or 3 times, but it worked out ok in the end.

Another tip; take your big steel watch off! A buddy of mine slipped while de-badging his pickup and put a nice chip in his paint!

where could you find that?

Your local hardware store should have it. Someplace like Lowes or Home Depot. Some of your bigger AutoZones and such will sometimes have it.
