For the stucky stuff, I would try some lacquer thinner on a paper towel.

On the decals, you might try a heat gun. They do make a pinstriping remover. It's sort of a pencil eraser material device that you attach to a drill.

Try RapidTac RapidRemover if you can find it. A vinyl graphics shop should carry it.

A hairdryer on high setting will get you started, then start peeling. Goo-Gone will SAFELY remove any leftover adhesive.
