You can try to use the "search" function at the top of the page and you'll probably run across some similar threads.
I have used a bodyshop eraser attatched to a drill to remove decals. ( you have a big job on yours) Just don't stay in one area to long or press to hard or you will go through the clear coat.

went to autobody paint supply store--the guy there reccomended 3m wood grain and stripe remover--then 3m woodgrain and stripe adhesive remover
so I applied the first waited ten and the decal scraped right off with a little elbo grease--did the rest and then went back and did the same with the addhesive--in total it took about 3 hours of work--there is hardley a trace of the lettering and stripe decals--I am very pleased--I think a little polishing compound and we are going to have a nice paint job--but looks great right now--I will post a picture tommorow--too dark to take a photo now
