I heated up the decal with hair dryer and used wd40 and some elbow grease spray it on and let it sit for about 5 mins then wipe off it does take some work but it comes off without hurtng the finish.

I have used Goo Gone and it worked great without harming the finish.

Heat gun & Goo Gone.
(Don't let the Goo Gone sit on the paint, wipe it off right away. It works fast!)

WD40 will take it off very easy and will not hurt the paint.

I bought a jobmate heat gun from crappy tire (15$). I took every sticker off the tunnel and other warning sticker in about 5 minutes. If any glue is left over spray wd40 on it and wipe off. Dont heat up the stickers too much and you will have very little glue left and stickers will come off in one piece.

I also use wd40 and it works good. Best part is most people already have his in their garage.

On my wife's 2007 Vector I had a hell of a time removing the decal glue, I used heat guns, goo gone, wd-40. what ended up working the best was gasoline on a rag. When I was done a couple of coats of wax and she shines like new.

I use the wife's nail polish remover. Something with acetone like paint thinner will work. Just don't get it on any plastic, like your windshield or headlight, etc. It works fine on the hood.
