The heat from a hair dryer should allow you to peel them off without scraping.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way

either that, or you can try alcohol. vodka works best, with some OJ. Kidding, rubbing alcohol works pretty good, and its cheap. many parts stores sell stuff for paint prep, I can't think of what it is, but its a bit more expensive than rubbing alcohol.

You can find goo-gone almost anywhere if the alchohol doesnt work. Menards, Home Depot, Target, Wal-Mart, ect. all have it.

WD-40 has also been known too take that off and is available anywhere. I bet you might even have some right now.

Ya, there are alot of other alternatives, but...I'd rather buy somthing that is specifically for taking sticky crap off. Eh, call me crazy but I'd hate to ruin this factory paint with all it's chips and scratches.

if you go to an auto body store the y sell rubber wheels that go on your drill,they are like an eraser. thats what we used when i worked in a body shop. just go slow and kepp it moving so you dont burn through the clear.Then wipe with paint thinner or goo gone works well too. o and your still going to be able to see the outline of them.

Want to know the easy way without leaving a sticky residue? Use a heat gun (NOT A HAIR DRYER). Of course, any idiot knows that a heat gun will take off the paint, yes i know, but only if you hold it very close for more than 10 or 15 seconds without moving it. Just blow across it a few times and the decal will practically fall off, and no residue will be there.
