heat gun will make it softer, and then you can remove it with ur nails probably.

As everyone listed "blow dryer" peel and use a paint cleaner such as meguirs paint cleaner. Works well with vinyl graphics. Then wax off any residue.

Also make sure you use a clean rag to clean the residue. You're gonna need to get in those corners really good. Adhesive remover should work, too! thumbsup

the body shop removed my vinyls by hand, and they were on for almost 2 years.
