Got mine off using a bucket of very hot water, and a big sponge!
Just hold water filled sponge on the area of graphics prior to peeling. When you pull them off, make sure you pull the vinyl right back on itself, and go easy or you could cause some damage to your paint.
If it's not lifting to easy then it's not warm enough.

or take it to a local sign maker
it depends what vinyl they have used originally
vinyl is often measured in years, i.e. 3 yr or 7 yr (the higher year ususlly the more expensive)
or Cast Vinyl which is made in a slighly different way -- to avoid Longitudinal and lateral stretch -- the most expensive (you can usually tell this type coz it sits very very flat)
a good signmaker will tell you what kind you have and the best method for removal, they will also have some special stuff to remove the glue deposits

I removed mine using the VERY hot water method and placed the sponge on the areas to remove for a couple of seconds and peel back each time holding the hot sponge against it.
A good polish afterwords.

Steve,
Just use a hairdryer if you have one (which you say you have). Once removed, get some proper tar / adhesive remover to get the clunge off. Wash down and polish. You need to get the heat in the plastic, else if will just keep breaking when you start peeling.
I said I would not sticker mine up again..... but I think it will be emblazoned for ScoobySprint.
I appreciate what you say about the stickers and driving on the road though.... it does make you feel a tit doesn't it.
