Default What is the best product to use for removal of decals on paint that won't be harmful??

I want to remove the dohc vtec decals on my si and also my si logo on the back. I just don't know what won't harm the paint. I have heard good things about 3m adhesive remover and goo gone but I am not sure if this is safe on my paint. Thanks.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought the DOHC decal had clear coat over it? on my EX I used a heat gun to take off the Civic and EX emblems.
