Default Removing Adhesive From Paint

I have a MitcherT paint job on my Sunsation and it has come time to remove my Indiana Registration decal's which we have to do annually. I think Goof Off actually removes paint so I don't think that will work and I really do not want to have to scrape it with a razor blade. Any ideas?

you can get regular adhesive remover from just about any hardware store but in my shop i just use a wax and grease remover. Its aggressive enough to pull off non hardening glue and wont hurt the pant. Its available in an aerosol as well and you should be able to get it at any auto body shop supply place.

I second the wax and grease remover. Most OEM's I have been too use this solvent on painted surfaces
