i bought one of those 3m eraser wheels, worked good on the passenger side, did horrible on the driver side.
But i feel the driver side must have gotten most of the sun for the life of the vehicle.

Heat gun or hair dryer and a plastic razor blade

yea. That is what i did except on the driver side in some spots it took it down to the primer. It was in the spots that were super cracked to begin with.

Use a heat gun or a hair dryer, and a razor blade, then use carb and choke cleaner to get the adhesive part off, for anybody reading this, DO NOT use carb and choke cleaner anywhere near spraypaint, as it will cause the paint to come off

go to your local auto paint supplier, and pick up a 3M "stripe-off" wheel, you chuck it up in your drill and go to town. i use them at work to remove decals on equipment. i got turned on to them by my friends dad who owns a autobody shop. they wont hurt the paint or clear coat. i like to buff out the paint with a cleaner and then wax it real well afterwards.

After 22 years my decals didn't want to come off, I ended up using a razor blade. The other day while looking through a Harbor Freight Catalog I noticed this ( http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=65057 ). Has anyone used it?

if you decide to use a razor blade. the glue residue left behind can be removed with WD-40. AND that's the only thing i'd use WD-40 on. but the 3-m magic eraser is good too
