Try a hair dryer or heat gun. Warm up the decals and they should lift off. Next attempt could be acetone/ nail polish remover, but rubber and certain plastics don't like it. Also Goof-Off may help loosen the glue.
Surly's are easy ... get an old CD case that you don't want - break it and use the edges to scrap off the decals. You'll probably want to use something like pro detailer or bike wash in conjunction with the case to make things go a little more smoothly. I did this on my steamroller (and have a friend who did it to his crosscheck) and it worked like a charm both times ... no scratches or chips at all. Happy scraping.
gooo be gone or nail polish remover. Remember if it's coated with a protective seal it will be tough.
Paint thinner works and it doesn't remove paint.[varsol]

Use heat like from a hair dryer as mentioned to warm the decal and peel as much off as possible. If you use a razor you could scrape the glass and leave etching marks. If you use nail polish remover it may also remove any coating you have in that spot. The best is to use the rubbing alcohol mentioned and then clean with window cleaner thoroughly. When you are done you may want to put a glass protection coat like rain clear or something on to smooth it out.

Warm up the decal just parked with the sun on it. peel off all you can, if there is the stuff from the back side use Fast Orange Cleaner the waterless hand cleaner. It is gritty but will not mess up the paint. If you do not believe me just clean your hand when your are done, that is how i found out about using it to get decal off.
Spent at lest a good hour and still had that gooey back side stuff and went to wash my hand and it came off easy there so i try ed some on my truck and was done in less than five minutes.
Good luck

Only use the acetone trick if you are ONLY working on taking decals off of WINDOWS as fingernail polish will possibly mess up a paint job. As for working with painted surfaces, use a squeegey/ bondo spreader and a blow dryer. Warm up the decal with the hair dryer will simultaneously using the plastic thing (squeegey/ spreader) to CAREFULLY scrape it off... AND being careful not to get the paint too hot. There is a commercial product that does this too but I'm not sure what it's called.
Hope this helps.

A hair dryer to heat the glue and the decal will peel off then you can use someting like goof-off or alcohol to remove the glue. Once you have the decal and glue off make sure to throughly clean and wax the area as the solvent will remove any protection that was there before.

Ah I had this run in with the parking services people about a year ago...and had to remove this GIGANTIC parking violation sticker from my window. I went to Walmart and got 100% pure acetone (nail polish remover)--will DEFINATELY do the trick. Just scrape as much of the decal off as you can first...but it'll get rid of any adhesive. Good luck!

If you have or can get a sharp razor blade and get it started and then peel off, that would be ideal............that way you wouldn't mess up the paint job. Other than that, I don't know of a thing. Good luck !

Peel off what you can and then use a product called
"GOO GONE". Yes, that's really the name.
If you have goo stuck somewhere, this makes it gone.
It is widely available at department/hardware/automotive stores.
