Quoted: There is something I saw at an auto body shop that attaches to a drill. It has several little straps that unfold as the drill spins faster. And it doesn't harm the paint. I watched as he removed all factory decals from a truck in minutes without a scratch. Wish I knew the name of it.

Called an eraser wheel! A heat gun and a razor blade work faster though. Just heat the decal and catch a corner and start peeling while heating.
edit: this will work even on old worn ass decals too! No goo be gone needed. However the paint underneath will be bright and shiney compared to the rest.

PLASTIC razor blade, trust me I detail cars, you dont want to use a metal one. You will scratch paint off. They're usually red plastic single edge razor blades for this purpose. Plastic ones dont scratch at all and are made for this sort of job.
try to peel it off with a red plactis razor blade untill it starts to come off, then use lacquer thinner to remove the goo left behind. Lacquer thinner will not remove any paint or clear coat so dont worry. Like if someone ever spray paints your car, lacquer thinner will remove it with no harm done to the vehicle, like it never happened.
Most people are clueless when it comes to what you can or cant use on the paint on your car. I love their reactions when they see the tar of spray paint that came off their car in a few minutes of rubbing. They're glad to pay the $50+ for me to do it too
