hot air (either gun or even a hair dryer will suffice) for any 'sticky' residue, use something like Meguiare's tar remover then polish/wax over and apply new stickers

Use a hair dryer to heat them up, but only for about 30 seconds, they should then peel off. You can then just use your thumb to work off any excess glue, polish it and bobs your uncle.

I removed mine. I had to resort to using a stanley blade then used white spirit to remove the glue remains. A good ol T cut afterwards followed by the blue coloured polish (my car is blue !!). It was a pig of a job, but after a good T cut & polish looks fine now. If you push the stanly blade against a corner of the sticker, it usually continues to peel pretty easily in my experiance.

do these things suggested, like lighter fluid etc, work better than turps?? Becaus ei'm having murder with turps so i'll pop to asda and buy some lighter fuel if it works better!
Or any other products i can get from asda or B&Q that will work well?
I have about 2 square feet of sticky crap to get off my bike!
Help asap so i can get it done tonight!

Put both your fog light covers in the mocrowave for about 4 mins on full power and the stickers will be off just nicely at the ping.
If you don`t have a microwave then put them in the oven on gas mark 7 for about 4 mins and the stickers will come straight off.
