using a rotary high speed buffing device to remove the vinyl stripe is not
advised.
one - you will burn the paint - especially on the edges since its set down in
that recess-
two- it will just melt the stripe, making a gooey mess and take 10 times as
long-

use a hairdryer, and a credit card. heat a 2 foot section at a time, and it
will peel right off.  we used this method (with a low temp heat gun -hair dryer
will suffice) at work to remove vinyl truck lettering and such, without
damaging the paint below.

it helps to have your fingers down by the decal as you are heating it - if
your fingers are getting too hot, then the surface is getting too hot.  gauge it
accordingly by giving the heat source some distance held away from the decal.
