3M makes a woodgrain and stripe remover in aerosol that will wrinkle the vinyl and it can be removed with a soft plastic bondo spreader used as a squeegee. it removes the vinyl but not the adhesive. their adhesive remover will do that. both of these paint safe. there is always a chance of raising the paint when removing by the warming method

It's a Buyers Market, if you have that attitude as a seller you just might own that car for quite a bit longer. I don't think that asking a seller to remove decals from the car is an out of line request. If the paint is damaged or faded around the decals it's the sellers liability.

A lot of helpful replies...much appreciated. My 14 year old son told me to keep the decals on it...we'll see.

I like the decals... pretty cool. Do they go over the hood too? I'd switch the wheels and match them up with the decals.
