If they're the kind of plastic stickers they use to make pin stripes and things there is a cool tool for removing them, it also removes all of the glue residue and crud left after removing other stickers and things. It's basically a circular eraser on a mandrel that you put in a drill and use to rub the stickers and glue off with. 3M make one that is good but the one I got was a no name. I just described what I was after to the guys at an automotive paint supplier and they said "Oh a caramel wheel". I found out what they meant because the thing stinks like caramel but it rips the stickers and residue off in no time. I removed all of the glue from rubbing strips and all of the pin stripes on my AW11 in under 2 hours where as it took me about 3 hours to do 2 feet of glue with solvents on my last car.
The only thing to be careful of is to run the drill at a real low speed because it is possible to burn the paint.
