Default sticker remover?

How do you remove the dealership sticker on a car without damaging the paint? I have one on the tail end of the car on the driver side with the "firehawk" on the passenger side. I want to remove it and get the chrome "SLP" emblem where the dealership sticker is.
Do they make an adhesive remover spray or something?

Try WD-40. Spray the area good and let it sit for 2 or 3 minutes. Peel up an edge of the decal and hit the glue underneath with more WD-40, peel farther, repeat - it should come right up, and WD-40 won't hurt your paint - but I'd still clean it off good afterwards.

You use a heat gun (idk if you have one) or a blow dryer, and you wet the area with water or like a spray detailer, and then just move it back and forth. DO NOT leave it on one area and stay a good distance away. After a few mintues, it will come right up. I did it all the time on used cars, cause I used to detail them and they would come into the dealership with bumper stickers, decals from other dealerships, etc. Works great.

make sure you pick it off, DONT scrape it off. you can pick up dirt and other debris and totally scratch your cear in that area. it wont be real noticeable, unless the light hits it just right. dont ask how i know
