Hairdryers take some time to stuff paintwork... heatguns are a different story....

you do not need much heat really.... best to wait for a hot day and leave the bike in direct sunlight and that will work if you dont have a hairdryer...

D solve it appears to be a citrus oil based product.It will attack paint and soften it.
Wax and grease remover is what the industry uses to prepare paint work for repainting.

I have found that a slow trickle of hot water from an electric jug just after boiling is more effective than the hair dryer. The thing about this is that it wont get over about 90deg, but hair-dryers can get hotter if you go too long. And water transfers heat better.
Pour slowly over the sticker for 10sec or so, the glue will soften dramatically, then pull very slowly. Pour a little more hot water as the glue releases, until the sticker is off. Then use De-Solv-it to get rid of residue.
This method works very well for those unsightly orange OEM nag stickers on new bikes.
