Removing a Decal!
I have a horrid HKS decal on the back bumper. I have tried to remove it but its almost solid and basically is "chipping" rather than peeling. It looks as though its on so hard its taking the laquer off with every chip.
Does anyone have any advice on how to remove it, i would take a pressure washer to it but i'm worried it will still do some damage on removal.
Thanks

Tried warming it with a hairdrier, very hot water, or soaking with WD40?

One of the best ways is to pour very hot (not boiling) water over the sticker, Then it just peels off easily.
This will not harm your paint work.

the best way is a hairdryer and some patience.

Because the people who buy them would moan if they washed off the first time you cleaned your car?
