Try Metho. Another option would be a hairdryer just to heat the vinyl sticker, should come straight off.

Try Buckys idea and then some eucalyptis oil, works wonders, especially cleaning oily parts etc.
Nice meeting you at Wagga yesterday and can I say again at how clean and immaculate your ute is. ![]() Mick

Mate has a car detailing business...
Swears by the heat first with hair dryer, on medium heat.. Not flat stick.. Then go the eucalyptus oil.. Works a treat and won't root the paint work.. Finally, after you get them off, give the whole area a good wash with warm water and regular dishwashing liquid... Have to make sure the eucalptus oil is all off.. Good Luck !

Give me your seats and I'll do the job for you..............
nah kidding, hairdryer but not for long, then they should peel off reasonably easily. Id give it a go over with paint cleaner afterwards to make sure there's no adhesive left on there.

I removed some unwanted vinyl stickers from my boat using a hair dryer to soften, then peeled them straight off, I removed any leftover residue with metho, there was no sighn of stickers left after that.

Wouldn't metho stuff the paint?
I remember using metho on the bonnet of a red Alfa about 20 years ago - turned it white..... |

Methylated spirits (metho) is fine for cured paint when used in small doses. It also evaporates quickly, so is great for getting bug/tar/sticker residue off.
