It's a pain dood. Like ^^ he said, you can use your nails, or a penny. Wait for a warmer day out, and that should make it alot easier to remove. After you removed all you can, use a terry cloth and some Goo-Gone and go over the effected areas to remove the excess adhesive sh*t. After wards give it a good polish & wax and your set.

definitely a pain in the ***...but definitely try taking it off in warmer weather

i removed my pinstripe in warm weather AND with a blow dryer to speed it up. then i just peeled it off with my finger nails...then after, you can either use goo gone as stated above, or you can try finding some 3M citrus spray which i used, and rub it off with a microfiber towel
