what is the best way to remove decals without damaging the covering?

use a heat gun,a blow dryer on high heat will work also but not as good and just slowly peel them off dont be in a hurry.

Just pulled decals off of my H9 Pulse. I pulled the decals SLOWLY. Pull Parallel to the surface you are pulling off from. Use cotton ball and acetone or alcohol to quickly remove any adhesive residue left behind. Use iron to remove any wrinkles.

Must be slow, gentle.

What he said works very well. Just use a much lower setting than you would normally use for affixing covering.

If any adhesive remains try various cover safe solvents on the adhesive...

e.g. first WD-40, then alcohol.

CA debonder works very well for removing glue residue from decals. Then clean with window cleaner to get the debonder off.
