need some help removing decals off my truck bumper. I have these two decals the previous owner put on my truck before I bought it. I would like to get rid of them and they are a little crooked too. I have tried to carefully use a razor blade but it seems they’ve been on there for so long, they just don’t want to come off easy. Maybe some heat? I’ve seen eraser wheels but I’ve really only seen them used with sticker residue. Any help is appreciated, I'm just trying to get these decals off.

Heat gun or hair drier, followed by Googone if there is sticky residue. Remember, it is a painted bumper so don't get it too hot or you will ripple the paint.

With the painted bumper, I would try this first and only apply heat if actually needed.

don't don't don't use a razor blade unless you want to scratch the paint. An eraser wheel will take the sticker and the adhesive off no problem. To speed things up though I would peel the sticker as much as possible then get rid of the adhesive. Do not use heat if you are going to use the eraser wheel.

Once you get it off, make sure to either wax or clearcoat.
