In most cases, heating with a blowdryer works well. For thicker stickers, using a piece of dental floss to get behind the sticker and "cut" between the sticker and the paint also helps.

And then use Goo Gone to remove any left over adhesive, and of course wax the area when complete.

Light fluid is the best way to go. put some on a cloth and just rub it off

I took a blow drier to mine. Works really well on a hot day. The dealer crap came off w/o any problems. The Z28 stickers took a little more time, but no biggie either. I used the wadded up sticky stuff to "blot" whatever was still stuck and it all came off. I hit is with some polish and removed anything remaining.
