Location: Pennsylvania		Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove an old decal without scratching the paint or aluminum? We have an Exiss trailer and the logo decal is coming off. We have since receive a new decal to put on from Exiss, but we are afraid of scratching the trailer while trying to get the decal off. Any suggestions is appreciated.

If it leaves behind a glue residue, you can use a tar and bug remover or goof off to remove that. Clean the area with alcohol before you apply the new decal.

Call Exiss and ask for their recommendations.

Otherwise I agree with warming it up and peeling slowly.  I used an iron one time to heat up contact paper to make it peelable.

Simple Green might be a good cleaner, but again, check with Exiss.

Do you mean "goo gone"?

No, but goo gone will work too. Same type stuff.
