Or hairdryer if you don't have a heat gun :)

If there is any adhesive left from the old sticker you can use "goo off" or WD40.

3m adhesive remover.

Go to a body shop and ask for the pin stripe removal thing. I'm not sure if there is another name for it or not, but we got one for my friends car and it works AWESOME! It fits on a drill bit and is the consistency of a hard eraser. Takes pinstripes and decals off with ease. Doesn't mess the paint up at all. Works PERFECT.

if there is any adhesive left u can use gasoline and it will come off

Snapon makes a tool like this called the crud thug. It'll take vinyl off really quick, but won't clean up the remaining adhesive.

"Goo Gone" works well and won't hurt the paint.

"Goof Off" is like acetone -- be very careful with this stuff.

"WD-40" is mainly diesel fuel (an excellent penetrant).

nono dont use goof off...

that stuff is strong, we use that at work to remove graffety on our metal door... and it takes the color off of everything...

we use it on the speed limit sign too and it takes off the numbers...

so dont use that on ur car

If it's a think decal (almost like a badge), then just use a hair dryer and some dental floss.

I recommend Goo Gone. It got some stickers off my husband's old truck without harming the paint.
