Yes, a little sun and a fingernail goes a long way. WD40 to cleanup any leftover gunk.

I used my wife's hairdryer and finished up with a bit of GooGone. Had both "X"s off in less than a half hour.

zippo fluid is good for residue...all of my decals, including the visors peeled right off. Just leave the jeep in the sun for a while first.

Metal emblems such as Trail Rated and JEEP can be removed by sawing through the sticky tape on the back with fishing line.

Heat em up. Peel them off. Get some wd40 or goo gone to get rid of the residual sticky stuff left behind. Also going to need a bit of elbow grease.

Did you also know they took the word "gullible" out of the dictionary because it really isnt a word?

1) Hair dryer,
2) patience, and
3)GooGone.

Heat it up a bit at a time, peel with your fingernail and refer to step #2.
