Decal sticker removal question

Ok Guys, I did a search but came up empty so here's my question!

I need to remove the '4x4' sticker from the sides of my truck and wondered what the best (translate: easiest!) way to accomplish this would be? I've heard a hair dryer works - any other suggestions?

Thanks for your replys!

I would soften the decal with a hair dryer, and start peeling it with my fingernail along the top edge. Once you get the edge separated, I'd spray window cleaner along the top and let it run down the panel and behind the decal. Using the hair dryer to help keep things soft, I'd work along, liberally applying window cleaner to get behind the decal and loosen the adhesive, while pulling the decal downward. After it's off, use auto polish (wax) to remove any remaining adhesive.

I've also had pretty good luck with a product called "Goo-Gone" to remove the remnants of decal/label sticky-poo. It is a yellow liquid (no, not what you're thinking) and smells citrusy. And doesn't seem to leave a sheen or other mess. Just apply as much as you need to dissolve the glue, and rub it clean.
