RE: Removing stickers
I've always used a hair dryer and some goo-gone on the residue thats left over, followed by some clay and wax. If the car is newer it should come right off, but if its older may take some more time but will still work.

RE: Removing stickers
At my work we just use adhesive remover, which I'm pretty sure is just goof off and pick it off with our finger nails. Then when its all off we spray it with some more adhesive and wait a few seconds for it to work, then wipe the excess gunk off with a towel. If it doesn't work do it again, it eventually comes off. I like to wash that area afterwards, never know what it'll do to the paint when its on there.

This method will work great and is pretty much what I do.

So how exactly does this method work? You use the hairdryer on the sticker and peel it off, I assume?

RE: Removing stickers
Heat gun or hair dryer with a plastic razor blade. Don't get it too hot, or all you do is make a sticky mess. If you don't have a plastic razor blade, a finger or even a small windshield scraper will work. Afterwards, laquer thinner works great (since you have factory paint, it will be just fine) or goof off will clean it up nicely. I'd be a little concerned about the paint fading out though since its been on there so long. You could try a clay bar, or a light touch up with a buffer may be in order.
