Goof Off started to take the paint off my S4 when I tried taking the decals off.

Why not try something clever and original, like actually use the correct product for the job? 3M makes a decal removal wheel that is chucked up in your drill. Removes the decal with no damage to the paint: As long as you read and follow package instructions.
