Use a hair drier, and your finger nail to get it started. Use as litle heat as possible, just enough to soften the clue on the decal. Pull lightly but use a constant pressure. I found the heat gun gives to much heat and causes the decal to stetch and break. Once all the decal is gone ,clean up the left over glue with the above mentioned GOO-BE-GONE. Lastly wax the whole hood and it will be nice and shinny. I just did the hood on my old XCR (now my brother-outlaws)took a couple of hours to strip the whole hood,but looks good.
