Doug,

Removing vinyl appliques from cars is like making pasta sauce, everybody has
their own favorite way of doing it.  Mine is to flood the offending decal
with hot water straight from the tap.  Once it is warmed, it will peel right
off along with most of the adhesive.  We are like most families in that we
set the water heater thermostat a little above what is considered a prudent
temperature.  Whatever it is, the temperature seems to be just right for
vinyl stripping with no chance of paint damage.  I clean the scant amount of
adhesive left behind with mineral spirits.
