If I am trying to remove stubborn stickers I use a heat gun/hair dryer. I have removed plenty without trying, with a power washer. May take off paint though.

paint stripper will get everything off, but what i usually use for removing stickers from 55 gallon oil drums where I work is a hair dryer or heatgun.

This one is a bit odd sounding, but works real good on unwanted bumper stickers, smear butter or margarine on the sticker,let it sit out in the sun or sit overnight ( helps if it is warm,to melt it on the sticker). The oils in the butter (or margarine) soak into the sticker,and turns the adhesive to mush, peels right off, wipe the area with a little glass cleaner to get rid of the butter residue, or let the dog lick it off [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] !!!! even takes off old dry stubborn stickers that keep ripping apart on you.

You can also use Naphtha (lighter fluid).... Works real good for removing labels and stickers...
