What's the best way to remove old water slide decals.

[Hoagie57]

Looking for a way to remove worn original water slide decals without damage to the original paint. No clear coat on em.
Can I soak the part to soften the decal or is there something to apply to loosen em up so "maybe" it's just come off in bits/pieces?
Anyone got a way?
Thanks for any & all input.
Tommy

There’s a product called Micro Set/Sol
That will soften up old decals for removal, without any damage to the paint,

That stuff works well for applying decals too.

I've tried that before, used just about the whole bottle did nothing for removing the decal >>> but great for applying them!

I've had success with that basic clear "packing tape" ... time consuming but lifts em up
bit by bit at a time til gone! No paint harm

I’ve completely removed all the decals off of a 1963 varsity and a 1979 spitfire five using turtle waxes rubbing compound in the green bottle. Are you sure the ones you’re dealing with haven’t been coated with something?

Positive 100% original with no top coating whatsoever about 50% already coming off or missing altogether. Oh I know once there clear coated your screwed trying to get em off. Don't even bother. But these are not.
Thanks for the input.

I've simply soaked them in warm water before and come right off..I suppose it could matter how long they've been on there too.

A buddy of mine found out they come off using a pressure washer.
