The decal and it's adhesive don't do well when exposed to gasoline. The decal will wrinkle and the adhesive will dissolve. Then do the hair dryer trick. I don't advise using anything sharper than your fingernail to pick-off the decal. Then 1,000 grit wet/dry and a final polish. I don't think there is a clear coat under the decal as he said in the video.

Good idea. I'll try that, should I decide to remove any decals in the future.
