fromt what i hear, hard work and a gentle touch it the only way, i think the key is heat it up with a hair dryer and start to peal them off, pulling up wards and not back, then clean the area and polish a few time to get rid of the left overs

i am not planning on using any tools other than hands unless anybody else knows any better
