depends on how old the car is, what color it is, was it garaged most of the time.....if its a black car and sits outside alot, I doubt it will be the same color!

remove them with a razor blade, then get a rubber drill wheel from your autobody supply store. The rubber wheel will remove the old adhesive very quickly. from there, you can polish/wax the car to bring everything back to life.
