It says on the can that it is non-harmful to automotive paints.

when me and my friend removed his DOHC decals on his SI, we just used a blowdryer and a razor. it came off no problem. no scratches or anything, just dont dig in, be VERY gentle and VERY patient!

I've used PB blaster on parts at work and it eventually ate through the finish and into the metal. Of course these are powdered metal parts not the metal that bolts are made of. But if it eats through powdered metal I'd hate to see what it does to paint over a period of time.

Just use a hair dryer and heat up the sticker OR leave it out in the sun for about an hour and it should peel right off.

No need to use all these chemicals on it. After the decal is off just use some bug and tar remover to get off the excess glue. Wash the car then wax.

That's how I got off all these stickers
