Start at the edge of the graphic and work into it. You have to have a variable speed drill and just barely have it going, preferably not over 1000 rpm. It won't hurt the paint as long as you don't leave it on one place very long and aren't running the drill wide open. Just don't do chrome or metal stickers with it. You will burn the paint, I did it. You can get a cheap one at most paint supply stores for about $10. I buy mine at Sherwin Williams automotive paint store. Orielly's has them but they are $40. They are 3m and do last longer. They also work really well for removing the double sided tape on emblems, moldings and body kits. Beats a razer blade and a days labor. You can do 2 rows of tape on a side molding in 15 minutes 3' long. They are amazing.

This liquid works extremely fast and without consequence. I've used it on my Corvette to remove tar.
