I just used a razor blade. Took a while but I wanted to make sure I was careful
Lighter fluid. Works well and never leaves any residue.

heat gun, just dont get it to hot
Heat the decals with a hair dryer and pull in a downward, 45 degree angle and take your time. They will pull right off. Next, use some Goo Gone (not the solvent!) and any residue adhesive will wipe off. Easy process with no elbow grease or scraper/scraping required.
Plastic razor blade, hair dryer, and Goo Gone.
3m eraser wheel can work as well.

I use a 3m eraser on a drill. Works amazing and you can get them on Amazon.
I've used em for years.
sounds easy will see how it works out Saturday
Denatured alcohol works great. Moisten the adhesive with the alcohol for a minute, then rub it off .
They come off better when they're at least warm. But really, get a corner started and just peel them off. If you take it easy and not get carried away, they'll come right off. At least TN stickers will. Goof-Off will take care of any residue remaining.
Heat gun to remove the stickers. Acetone to remove the residue.
Just finished removing 17 year old Fisher decals and stripes from my 180 last night.....Zero fun. Eraser wheel was completely worthless. Heat gun and plastic scraper was better IF I got the decal almost to melting point (couldn't do it on fiberglass... blister) . The best, by far, was a razor blade attached to this lil handle with the heat gun. My wife stripped 15' of one side in less than half the time it took me to do all the rest.

This..
Won't work effectively (if at all) if they have been baked on for a number of years.... at least on AI....can't speak for composite. My decals had periodic "dock/rock rash" which made heating and pulling very, very frustrating, even using a plastic scraper. SERIOUS heat (almost to the point of melting the decal) from a heat gun combined with a plastic scraper was better.... much better. However, using a heat gun to heat the razor blade (with a handle attached to it) as you lightly pulled the decal UP was, by far, the easiest and most effective.Originally Posted by JCClark

Hair dryer and goo gone.
If you use goo gone you'll need to use something like acetone or denatured alcohol to clean off the residue. Goo gone is kind of oily slick like WD40.
Heat gun then goo gone is what I used worked pretty good
