Everything depending on the car storaging conditions along its life. Maybe some gasoline could help, but dunno With a Charger born in Chrysler assembly plant in Valencia, Venezuela

They have a blunt edge and won't scratch. Often you can get an edge started and slowly peel off a long strip. Be aware that although the eraser wheels work very well, they will burn through lacquer.

But you can loosen it up with 3M adhesive remover then the wheel and a plastic scraper to help also. Do a google search for the remover and it will bring up the other tools needed. I used to remove/change decals on the doors of semi tractors and these are what I used. NEVER use a razor blade! BTW, there WILL be a shadow where the old decals were, but they make a perfect template to where the new ones go! Last edited by Rhinodart; 09/04/21 08:36 PM.
