If it's not lacquered over which I think they are, try heating with a hair dryer for a bit and should just peal off, then use some petrol on a clean rag to get rid of the final residue, wash and wax in same way you'd normally do it and that's it. Job done :-)
Oh, if it's lacquered over, I don't know how to do that, sorry.

The warning one on the top is not lacquered in, use a little heat to soften the glue and then once you have peeled it off a little bit of panel wipe or similar to clean off the remaining glue

+1 for wd40. Just did one on my screen with it tonight. Worked a treat.
