Default Dumb Decal Question

The 427 decal on my air cleaner cover is in pretty rough shape and I'd like to replace it. Any ideas on how to get it off cleanly? Is there some time of magic liquid that will help remove the adhesive without damaging the cover?

Thanks! :cheers:

after you remove it take some WD-40 and spay it on and wipe to remove the resdue, and then wax it and clean the spot were it goes then put the new on
