X2 to the heat gun idea.. or a blow dryer will work. After the sticker is off, use acetone/thinner/gasoline to remove the adhesive. If you care about your paint make sure to clean it then follow up w some wax.

3M eraser will remove decal and glue, If you use a heat gun use 3M decal remover for left over glue. gas or acetone won't remove most automotive glues.

Yeah, the 3M erasers are nice.. but salty. I've had good luck w both gas & acetone, they don't won't remove the adhesive but they will free it up enough to push it into a "pile" then remove it.

heat gun then label adhesive remover, once its all off go over with something else like soap, rain-x, wax or something.
