Here's a post to me from Max-Wellhouse:
"Bob:  3M makes a Roloc Tool for your electric drill called an "Adhesive and
pin striping removal" tool.   It's a bunch of white plastic discs that flex
when pressured at high  speed.  They work wonderfully. Less than $15 for
the whole kit and available at most any larger auto body parts place."

I wound up getting a round rubber disk that attaches to your drill. It
"erases" the decals really well, turns them into little loose bundles of
decal and does a great job without messing with the paint finish. The
"loosener" fluid is also decal remover and you'll probably find both at the
same place. IIRC I got mine at a auto body shop store that sells DIY
materials.
