    Hair dryer should work fine to soften the old adhesive. Used it on old race car numbers. WD-40 or goo-gone and a rag for the leftover adhesive. I would caution against a heat gun, but if you HAVE to, keep it well away and keep an eye on the temps. Hair dryer is the safe bet.

    They also make a product called sticker off that does a great job. You can get it at Walmart, West Marine, or Boaters World for sure.

    I used simple green. I took a paper towel and put it over the decal and sprayed and let it sit, came back about ten minutes and peeled it off. Had to clean the glue same way.mcgaff1
