Any decal removal methods without harming paint?

[Far North]

I was washing my JD 9650 combine yesterday with the power washer and accidently peeled off part of one of my big decals on the side. I barely touched it with the spray pattern and it went flying. After some of it was gone I tried to peel the rest off with the power washer using a more direct approach, but then of course I couldn’t get it off. Now there are some remnants still intact. Any suggegstions on how to get off the rest without damaging the paint?

It's plastic not metal. No paint on the side shields of a 50 series combine...

We use a product at work called dirty word remover. Works on plastic or metal and is a thick clear liquid that will get all of the old glue off.

I went to the local paint shop that sells 3M products. Bought the decal the round eraser that fits on a drill. Worked really well and the paint looked liked new when finished. Just keep the eraser moving so you don't burn the paint. :wink:
