Decal removal

I have a 2004 step side Tundra and am trying to remove all of the decals, protective vinyl at step side etc. Any suggestions on a technique that won’t harm the paint? All original decals.

 

Welcome to the forum.
I used a 3M eraser wheel to remove my bed decals and badge residue.
Go slow and keep the drill speed down..

There are cheaper options these days..

You may get recommendations to use a heat gun.
I'd never use a heat gun on Toyota's fragile paint..

 

Many decals can be removed by heating them up with a hair dryer or electric heat gun. Take your time and use just enough heat to soften the glue.

 

And use what to remove the residue?

Go the eraser wheel route. If those decals are original they will tear and come off in pieces with the heat approach. Just my 0.02. Any residue will wipe off with goo gone or wd-40.
