Why risk using a heat gun when a hair dryer and your thumbs will work fine? I would hate to see you wreck your new cars paint job with a heat gun. A hair dryer will work fine and be less likely to damage your paint. Why risk it? I guess it is your car to do as you please with, but it would be a shame to see the paint wrecked.

Some hair dryers cant get hot enough. And if you use it properly, the heat gun will be considerably less work, since it tends to curl the vinyl at the edges.

Just removed the dealer sticker on my Z yesterday. I had a blow dryer in one hand blowing on the sticker as I peeled away slowly with the other hand. This method left a lot of glue residue that I removed using a soft towel and rubbing alcohol.
