    k

    Simple process. Take a heat gun and open up the can and heat up the side from the inside were the decal is. Peal off. Be carful not to get it too hot but hot enough to release the glue. Also the decal can get very hot so watch your finger tips when peeling it off.

    As odd as it sounds, you can try smooth peanut butter if the sticker doesn't come all the way off and tears. The fat in PB will dissolve that sticker adhesive. Spread it on thin and let it sit for a couple hours. Stuff wipes right off.

    The glue can be dissolved with one of many solvents. There is a product similar to "goo gone" called "goof off" that works well, and won't damage the paint. Many other solvents, acetone, alcohols, choke&carb cleaner will damage that kind of paint. Mineral Spirits is generally a pretty safe bet.
    If you don’t have a heat gun, a good hair dryer will work as well!

    sounds messy. If he gets the white label off and glue remains he surely has wd 40 laying around, its much better at label residue.

    Different labels, different adhesives, different adhesive removers will work differently. Heat helps but get the heat gun, you'll be all day with a hair dryer. Also get a sharp plastic scraper. Apply the adhesive remover to the edge your pulling up as you pull up the label.

    Submissive gun rights advocates need to lose their submissiveness before we lose our 2A rights.

    So I'll try the peanut butter, WD40, Goo Gone, Heat Gun, Boiling Water, 3 in 1 Oil, Boiled Linseed Oil, and.... Purell.

    We'll see how easy the stickers come off after three hours with the "solvents" and independent times on the heat gun and boiling water.

    Well, sir, it sounds to me like you've never made a PB&Ammocan sammich. I recommend you start living for a change.
