They sell a sticker remover at the auto store, spray it on let it sit for a second and then just wipe with a microfiber. Also there is a 3m metal can, looks kinda like a bottle thinner would come it. It works well also.

3-m adhesive remover also. Goo gone wouldn't even phase mine! i think i used about 4 cans of 3-m and a LOT of towels. It took about 3 passes too, the first 2 passes i scraped it off with a plastic scraper (and credit card), the third was towels that got all gummed up. Now the BSM stripes I put on and now took off were super easy. Just peeled right off. Factory though.... egh.

Motsenbocker's Lift Off (bought at Wal-Mart)
Hair Dryer
Numerous old gift cards
Patience

Procedure: Apply coat of Lift Off, run hair dryer on section for 2 minutes, apply more Lift Off, scrape off - left me with ZERO residue!
