Removing "ES" decals

Simple enough question: what's the easiest way to remove the "ES" decals on my fenders without damaging the paint underneath?

I'll move it for you, but I'm afraid I can't answer your question.

sounds ghetto, but seriously a fingernail and some elbow grease. then a little wd-40 to remove the "sticky"...if you want to get all techie, use a heat gun(blow dryer) and a credit card.

Dental floss wont work. this "badge" is actually just a clear decal with ES lettering.

I took off my stickers by first using a hair dryer to heat it up, then it just peeled right off. I used Turtle Wax's Bug & Tar Remover to clean up the sticky stuff and it comes out perfectly.

ITS A 3 STEP DEAL.

Place car in sun to heat up decal
remove decal with finger nail and finger
remove "goo" with "Goo Gone, WD40 or "desolve it", whichever works or you have...

I just did this to my LX along with removing the pinstrip, dealer sticker, etc...
