Default decal removal technique

I am in the process of removing all of my decals off of the fairings.

What is the best liquid remover for the adhesive left over?

Alcohol is not cutting it.

I'll send pics when I am finished.

use a blow dryer and warm up the decals first. Then use 3M adhesive remover(works great)

the 3M adhesive remover works 10x better than goo gone and its safe for paint/clear coats. Not sure if acetone is good for your clear coat

heat gun and goo gone works really well...no a mark at all once you get it off...
