sticker crapy decals or whatever you call it

hey all.
you know how you get some cars with the kind of detailing on the side thats kinda stuck onto the side of the body over the doors?
well i've been trying to get it off, managed to get the top bit of the green and gold crap.
but the glue that's holding it on doesn't want to budge.

i've tried eucalyptus oil but that didn't work.
I'm going to try acetone on it and just rub it on lightly....but i know it may strip the paint so i'm slightly worried it will ruin the paint (not that the paint work is to great being 20 years old)

ill let you all know how i go, but in case that doesn't work....anyone else have any good suggestions?
i heard there is a rubber drill bit you could possibly get?

Have you tried using a heat gun to soften the adhesive?

I agree with you Tony A Hair Dryer or Heat gun

You can also leave it out in the sun on a hot day. This can work quite well but can be a bit hit & miss as well.

Heat gun/hair dryer

Becarefull doin it other ways, you can end up with paint lifting with the sticker

Yep, go the hair dryer.

Be really careful using acetone on the sticker mate, you will end up taking paint off. Not Good.

i found a great product at super cheap it is called "wax and grease remover" and is made by 3m and i found this to be great. took a little rubbing and a bit of time to complete but it appears as though the paint is in really good condition still, after a good polish of the paint work you can not even see where the stickers have been. my GU is white so may come up better than other colours but for the $12 it cost i reckon it was well worth it.
hope this helps
