Default Removing Decals

What is the best way to remove sticker decals? I took off one by peeling it off and scratching off the adhesive shit. Is there an easier way to do this? I know I can use a blow dryer but I don't have one.

A finger nail works best for me. Doing it on a warm day helps too.

definitely heat it up first, makes the glue less sticky, then just peel it off

I've seen one of these before. They're kinda costly but amazingly affective. It looks and feels like a giant eraser in the shape of a wheel that attaches to a die grinder.
