I took the Liquid Clay bar to mine and got the wax out. Sprayed it off, wiped it dry and applied the decal been good so far.

The easiest way to remove wax from your truck is to wash the truck/area with household dish detergent. Takes it right off.

I would definately remove the wax BEFORE putting any stickers on. You could simply use mineral spirits to completely clean theparticular areaand then wipe it down with a towel. After all of the stickers are on, rewax it. Some waxes/polishes are easier to remove than others. If you use basic carnuba wax then dish soap will remove much of it. However, if you use anything like Zaino, it will take a few washes with dish soap to remove it.

If it were me, I'd clean the exact area with mineral spirits and then rewax. That way you aren't stripping all the wax.
