If it's the sticker kind use a heat gun or hair dryer to make it elastic, larger sections will pull of a lot easier. Then wipe with WD40, wash and wax, done.

go to a body shop and pick up a decal remover.. they are usually under 20 dollars.. it looks like a giant eraser.. you mount it on a die frinder or drill and it won't harm the paint.. my body guy pulled mine off with one in about ehh. 15 mins..

Just go to CarQuest or Tasco and get 3M Adhesive Remover. Its in a Red & White tin can. I would know this bc I own a body shop. The chemical is clear coat friendly also!
