Maybe try using a heat gun to soften up the adhesive? When I took mine off I just used an old credit card and scraped, but I hear there's plastic razor blades that don't scratch...just some ideas.

use a hot water pressure washer to warm up the adhesive, then peel.. heat gun will work also (dont heat up too much), then use some kind of adhesive remover to get the remaining glue off
