it's good stuff, I tried peeling it all off but no luck, the glue stays. whats the best way to remove it? I dont have a heat gun, I think I'll attack it with an exacto knife in a minute.

Goo Gone on the residue works pretty dern good ;)
-
Providing its not on plastic.... sometimes cleaners with citris (orange peel) work really well. Sometimes if the citris is to much it can melt plastic, so use with care.

Which factory decals?
I pulled of my Tracker decal (above rear wheels) easily on a hot day.
I just let it sit in the sun on that side till the body got hot, used my fingernail to pick a starting point, slowly pealed it back, and away it went.
Now you see it

3M Adhesive Remover ... dissolves adhesive right off.
-
Hot Day method is good advice.
WD-40 also removes adhesives
without harsh solvents that could
damage your paint, just work it in
with a shop rag (clean) and keep
moving to a clean spot on the rag
when the one gets gooed up

I used a heat gun and just pick n' pull. Then cleaned off the sticky left overs with methyl hydrate, it's multi-purpose and cheap, it works very well, won't damage paint, and evaporated quickly.
-
Heat Gun and Acetone works fine too. If you haven't got a heat gun then how about a haidryer otherwise wait for hot sunny, day to help soften the adhesive.
-
Naptha is a great mild solvent to use for this, as well as wiping down a body right before tack cloth and paint. You should find it in any decent paint store.

Removed the stickers from a 1980 J-10 Jeep truck a couple of years ago. I started with buying a Decal Remover that attaches to a drill. It's basicly a bunch of soft non-marking rubber washers that are bolted together. After I wore that out I went with some rubber fender washers that I bolted together and used in a high speed drill. As far as the Glue, Acetone and a hot day. Remember if you go with acetone make sure you little brother that smokes doesn't come over to see what your up to.
Fire..Fire, Maybe not so good?

Acetone? Won't this strip paint? I'm sure I've used it before to remove paint. But, I might be thinking of something else :)

One of the methods the pros use is a rubber wheel made by 3M it's essentially a larger 'eraser' that attaches to your drill and you basically erase the decals. They pull right up with no need for heat or chemicals.
Go to your local paint store and ask for it.
Good luck, Eric

I've removed factory stickers off two vehicles easily with just a hair dryer. I used a light rub of mineral spirits to remove any adhesive left afterwards.
-
Go with the Eric said, I used them in the body shop and they remove the sticker and the glue.
The 3M one is 10-15 bucks CDN, use and electric or cordless drill (doesn't have to go 100mph)
Just remember heat is japanese steels worst enemy, so don't sit in one spot to long, it can actually burn paint (exteme cases)
Be careful using chemicals like acetone, if the paint is lacquer or enamel it WILL RUB OFF ( not factory paint or low quality repaint) do a test spot first.
Hope that helps
Steve.

I've seen this method before, it works great!
However I prefer the old fashoned way....
