    If they are stickers a heat gun or blow dryer, try to peel them off with teh adhesive if possible. Use goo gone, wd40 or alcohol to remove residue. Make sure you test whatever you use to make sure it doesnt damage the surface

    Rain-ex in a spray bottle is the best thing I've used, and nobody seems to believe me, but it works!!!

    It works due to the alcohol base, try using straight alcohol, it will save you some $ and get equal or better results
