Heat the stickers with a hairdryer for a few minutes then carefully try to catch a corner with your nail and slowly peel off . Then clean off any residue with some panel wipe.

Hair dryer should do it as long as you keep it warm while you peel off.

Furniture polish (Mr Sheen or similar) will remove any residue easily.

I use a heat gun (hairdryer just as good) and cellulose thinners.. obviously dont use cellulose if your car has been re-painted with celly paint lol!

We just pour boiling water on them.. far easier than the hairdryer which often leaves a sticky mess. Dunno if it damages the paint but I don;t really care about it when it's a Transit or trailer
