GOO GONE.....

pull the stickers off as much as you can by using your fingernails, and after ya have most of it off use the GOO GONE stuff and a rag to wipe off the glue... just apply to the rag, let it kinda soak into the glue alittle and start rubbing..

o ya my bad... ya that works good to to remove the main sticker but i guess depends if its a decal/sticker or vinyl graphic, vinyl can be picked off preaty clean by just using your finger nail tho heat will help. but a cheap sticker will be a PITA with all the glue they use!

It's actually on the body
And it's reallllly hard to take off
I tried with just my fingernail and warmed it with hot water (probably didnt do much though) and it won't peel, kind of just curls up into micro-micro ***** of white plastic decal
ill try the blowdryer and see what removal products i got like that
