I would try goo-gone or goof-off, home despot has goo-gone. If you want a professional product that will take it of you can get PPG acryliclean at auto paint stores, it removes wax, tar etc before painting.

i took mine off with a razor blade...
one side was very easy, i just peeled it up, and the rest came off, just like tape. it did break a few times though, but i could keep on going.... that side only took 10 mins.
the other side, the pass. side was a pain. this is were i wish i had the goof off... that side i was consatnly on there with the razor blade. trying not to scratch the clearcoat to bad, which i didnt. But that side took me atleast 45-50 mins... and then add the time for waxing and buffing the car, to get the scratches out from the razor blade....
hope that helps! good luck

Go to an autobody supply store. They have these stripe erasing wheels that you chuck up in a die grinde/electric drill motor. They take off the stripes and don't damage the paint.

Yep, those wheels work great! I used them when i de-badged my car when my dad painted it, works just like an eraser too!
