How to get stickers off?

I was just wondering how I can get my stickers off easily. I want to take off the Turbo II on the sides and the Mazda on the back and also the little accent stripes. Looking for a spray of some sort, only thing I can think of right now is maybe bug-off stuff since it gets tar off. Any ideas would be great, thanks.

Be careful with that bug-off stuff. If it removes tar, think of what it might do to your paint...

I think I've heard of people removing stickers and such with a little soapy water and a hair dryer. Just be careful..it'd be a shame to damage the paint.

I went to Autozone and picked up some Goo-Gone in a spray can. I used it on the double sided sticky tape that held my louvers in place for 16 years and the dealership sticker that was on the back. Didn't harm the paint and everything looks good. Just go in and ask for sticker removal spray.
