Try using a blow dryer get it good and hot start at one end and start pealling go slow and keep pourin the heat to it. As it sarts giving keep tention on it you should feel it start to give more and more. But go slow and be patient grasshopper. Works on most every sticker Ive ever taken off. Good luck.

The hairdryer is a good idea but another way is to pressure wash it. I've done this on our quads and many cars and trucks I've detailed over the years. (Ex detailer) Hope this helps and have fun!!!!!

Hair Dryer with a plastic puddy knife (drywall spatula) wrapped with a towel. Your fingers get too tired after a while.
Use Bug and Tar remover after that to get off the left over sticky stuff.
What a pain in the A__ job.

I used a heat gun to remove all the stickers, but go SLOW or they will keep ripping. After I had all of the stickers off I used WD40 to get all of the glue off. Then a little rubbing compound and some wax and you are good to go.

My best results came from heating the decals with a heat gun to get the adhesive really soft, then waiting briefly for the sticker itself to cool a bit, but the glue under it still hot, then peel them right off. I found if I pull the sticker while it is still hot, it tears much too easy, but letting the sticker cool a bit and peeling while the advesive is still hot worked out easy. Hardly any residue left afterwards to clean off. Then again, I'm refering to the warning decals, I haven't removed any of the graphics, except the front yellow reflectors - they sucked!

you can go to your local auto part store and buy a pinstripe remover (not sure on the cost) adn it chucks into a drill. ive used it many times on cars and trucks but i havnt tried it on anything else. the heat gun, hair dryer works just as good
