GooGone, it comes in a silver squirt bottle. takes off stickers and everything sticky. Wash off thoroughly with clean water.... You can get it at WallMart.

Yep, just avoid contact with the paint and clean it thoroughly with water. Do this right before you wash your car.... I have used it a few times to remove parking decals from my rear window and to take the GTS lettering off of both my front and rear blackouts. Have fun! BTW it has a pleasant Citrus smell, it'll knock you out if you sniff it too much

I've used WD-40 to remove sticky things before, just make sure you clean it off immediately.
