Removing Decals??

The dealer where I got my car put their decals on my trunk and I was wondering how to get them off. I think they are stickers, but they have like a hard plastic coating on them. I started picking them off, but that would have took like 2 hours. Any better suggestions?

i hate those gay dealer decals too.. i actually work at one.. how we take them off is with a heat gun. we have vinyl decals.. prolly similar to what u have, you can use a hairdryer (becareful not to get too hot---KEEP some distance from the paint, as you can make it blister.) so use a hairdryler on a medium to hot setting keep it positioned so that you warm it up to be pliable..dont melt it tho.. then just pick it off as you go along.. use adhesive remover to get the excess removed.. then way that portion..

It took me over 2 hours to get mine off, it was a foil type sticker that just fell apart if you tried to pull off a big piece. i used goo gone and a lot of elbow greas and patience.

I think moforose3.0 is talking about decals not badges. I have been wanting to get my dealer decal off also but didn't want to be picking at it all day and scratch the paint.
