Gently heat with a hairdryer and slowly peel off. Allow the remaining glue to cool and solidify and then remove it with a cloth and a liberal spraying of WD40 (works liek magic).

Hairdryer or if you've got one a heat gun but be careful lol

Petrol or white spirit works too to remove the residue, then polish the area around it since the stickered part will generally be cleaner than the rest of the panel.
