    Yep. Hair dryer mate. Move it over the whole surface of the sticker. Nice and easy, and a little tlc if it leaves any residue glue about.

    Yeah don't focus the hear to much it'll melt, heat it slowly testing the sticker often to see if it'll peel off

    Once you have removed the sticker try lighter fluid to get off the remaining glue
