Verrrrry slowly....

Go get a hair dryer and heat up a section of about 6-10 inches. Peel that slowly away. When you get a body panel done, go back and heat up whatver glue is left and quickly scrub it with some Meguiar's Clear Coat scrub or Step 1 of their 3-step system.

Of course, you'll need to wax these areas after you do that. My stripes were on my Neptune Blue '97 and no ghosting or fading happened at all. It looks beautiful.
