Default Well, there is no easy way to remove it if you want to prevent scratching.
But I fabricated a small plastic "scalpel" (whittled from some polystyrene) and in conjunction with a pair of tweezers, I just slowly picked at the label until it was removed - took about 30 minutes! I then used a citrus based gum remover on a small piece of cotton fabric to get rid of any residual glue. After all that, I washed the car and then rewaxed under the rear spoiler.

Worked for me!

Oh, the agony of it all!...... It's like a price tag that they don't want you to remove!

I used a worn-out guitar pic to scrape it off gently... clay bar and wax after. Took an hour!

Did you try "naptha" (a.k.a. lighter fluid) yet? How about some WD-40 and let it soak for awhile.
