Decal Removal

Is there a way to remove regular decals without damaging the paint? I would like to install the vinyl cut ones.
Thanks
 
Good luck. I don't know of a guaranteed way to not damage the paint. If they are modern Mylar decals, heat is probably the best way, but it may damage the paint. If they are the original water transfer, I don't know of any way except sanding which will definitely damage the paint.

I have had limited luck using spray foam window cleaner and a heat gun. Be careful not to get to hot. Spray it on , heat and use a plastic scraper.
 
I used on my BRAND new 2013 truck, stuff called Goo-Gone from the auto parts store, and it worked great, dab on and wait few min and rub off, repeated as necessary
 
i have parked in the sun, when the decaal get warm enough to be removed by peeling off gently...just by using my finger nails to slide along the edges to be able to grab it enough to slowly pull off
 
GO TO YOUR AUTO PARTS STORE. THEY SHOULD HAVE A WHEEL THAT GOES ON YOUR DRILL TO TAKE DECALS OFF. A SIGN MAN SHOWED ME HOW TO USE IT AND I HAVE REPLACED DECALS ON MY PETERBILT TRUCKS SEVERAL TIMES WITH IT. IT ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT DAMAGE THE PAINT. AFTER USING IT YOU NEED TO USE SOME TYPE OF CLEANER TO CLEAN THE SURFACE AND IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE NEW.
 
one of the other guys said it, go to the auto parts store and ask for rubber decal removel wheel, we have used on 2 or 3 trucks when we redone them and work good don't hurt the paint. they do have a max rpm so you don't burn the paint, show keep in mind hom much RPM you use on it.
