Goo-B-Gone. Works like a dream. Use a rag and put it on generously, the glue behind start to wear off and it comes off pretty simple. I used it to get a '5 Zigen' sticker off my car.

Word. GooGone and either a hair drier or heat gun.

I used to work at a vinyl sticker shop and did a lot of installations...which usually included removing old **** first. This isn't the fast way to do it but it is the correct way. One thing to keep in mind is that if the stickers have been on for a long time, you'll still have them there after you take them off because the paint under them hasn't weathered with the rest of the car.

you can get a rubberized buff wheel that takes that **** off lickity-split.
If it's been on for a while though, the paint underneath may not match the rest of the car anymore (sun fade).
