Question Removing dealer decal

How do I remove this dealer decal without risk of damaging the paint? Some type of solvent? Hair dryer and a plastic scraper?

Start by washing the car.

I've always been able to pick these stickers off very quickly and easily by heating them up a touch and then just lifting them with a fingernail. A plastic razor would also work just fine. Remove any remaining solvent with a tar or adhesive remover. Likely a 5-minute job, excluding the car washing process.

Just peeled mine off today. Used a hair dryer to heat it up and my fingernail to get it off. Some goo done to get the residue off and a little spray wax to finish up. Worked great.
