eucalyptus oil!!! once the plastic part of the sticker is off the glue will come off without damaging the paint if you use it  tried and tested on various cars ranging from 1978 range rover to 2008 ford focus

try to peel it first then pour a little on a rag and just work it in.can take a little while to penetrate so you may want to wait a couple of minutes after giving it a good soak (via rag) then it should start congealing and coming off in tiny lumps when you rub it

be careful with eucalyptus oil - it can damage the paint! i had my decals taken off professionally after i couldnt budge them - he used a razor blade (about 5 actually) and citric acid... he dabbed the whole decal in the citric, then by the time he'd got to the end the start had softened enough to scrape off. |

true alien?iv used it plenty of times without so much as a mark! i may have been lucky but its seemed to work flawlessly for me. citric is another good way,i always have eucalyptus oil at hand anyway. |

Use a heat gun it will reduce the time ten fold then clean the glue off with citric acid no need for razor blades |

Razor blade i reckon is the only way for really stubborn stickers and k&h wax and grease remover works great to get rid of any glue left behind. Was the only way to get rid of one the previous owner of my vitara put on |
