Default Removing Factory Warning Decals

I have a Polaris Sportsman Mossy Oak, is it easy to get the factory warning decals off without hurting the camo finish. I would just like to remove some of the larger ones on the fenders.
Thanks

Yes...it is very easy...I have 2 atv's w/camo on them. Use a hair dryer to heat them up and peel them off. Any adhesive left behind can be taken off with "goof off" or wd40. Hope this helps.

Some of mine accidentally came off when I was pressure washing the plastic. Left a residue, though (like a properly stained wood deck - water beaded on it, but the residue was invisible). Some rubbing with wd-40 solved that.

Yes WD 40 does work good but, If there really on there go to automotive store and get a can of adhesive remover (I think 3M )

This works when WD40 won't.

I used a presure washer and adhesive remover.

Good Luck

Tried it with the hair dryer and it came off no problem, only left a little residue at the sticker edges.
Thanks guys for the help

i removed every sticker, warning label and decal from my camo.
let it sit outside in the heat and started going at it with my finger nail.
cleaned the goo with wd40. takes a minute, but nothing to pull your hair out over.
if i can do it, anyone can. haha!
