I've picked them off w/ my nail and heat gun. I recommend an eraser wheel though, much faster. They can be attached to many different tools. Machine buff and polish to remove the marks, scuffs, stains. Depending on how old and the color of the paint, you might have have permanent discoloration between the surface under the stripe and the rest of the car.
