    Heat gun...get the vinyl hot and it'll peel right off without messing with the paint.

    Hair dryer works well too. You know those oil execs have all the fancy tools. Go easy so you don't bubble the paint. Use Goo Gone or similar stuff to remove any residue left behind.

    WD-40 also works to remove glue and tire rubber.
