it will soften the adhesive/glue and make it easier to pull off.

lol. it does work it might take a little longer with a hair dryer but it works.

a heat gun is much quicker.

good luck.

p.s. take a before and after shot, you'll be surprised of the outcome.

i used a heat gun for the red pinstripe i had (that stripe seemed like a thicker sticker and easy came off in one pice) the other silver pinstripe was much thinner, and i used warm-hot water and a bankcard :)
