i removed mine with some elbow grease and some autoglym tar and grease remover...took a while and some sore finger tips but it worked a treat and left no marks at all...hair dryers and petrol can go wrong...if uve waxed or have a high power hair dryer the heat can strip the paint and seal the surface beyond repair because of wax...the petrol and hairdryer idea is great until the fuel catches fire...

Sorry badley worded, use the hair dryer to melt the glue and roll it off with your fingers, the petrol gets rid of all the bits that are to small to pick at, deffo dont use them together
