Well I just got off the graphics. Maybe tomorrow I'll tackle the left over glue bits.
Thanks Boys!

Goo Gone is also good at taking off the remaining glue/adhesive. Just make sure that you completely clean the area once you're done removing all the glue... You don't want to leave that stuff on your paint.

I like 3M Adhesive Remover myself, had a lot of success with it, just make sure you wax over the area afterwards.

Um, isopropyl alcohol will take the clear coat off.

dont use alcohol.. dman ppl that shit is horrible for your paint. use goo gone. just let it soak in a little bit, then it litterally wipes right away. i've used it many times in the past. it recommened washing the area with car wash soap after... i've never had bad effects either way, weather you wash it or not.. but just as a save measure, atleast wipe the area down with a clean wet cloth

the best method i've used is a hairdryer to heat it til it's pretty warm to the touch....then use your fingernail to peel, go slow, constantly heating the area you will go to next....i would advise against it, but if u do use a razorblade...be very very careful...it's incredibly easy to scratch your paint....my fingernail did a good enough job....just go slow...when the vinyl is off...use some bug&tar remover...i didn't use alchohol or googone...cause i tent to think it's too harsh for the paint...it takes a little longer with B&T remover, but just use some patience and it'll work nicely...lastly...when your done getting ALL of the residue off...it'd be a good idea to use some nufinish or meguiar's polish and then wax...

this is what i did for my civic cx badge and the dealership logo...came out pretty nice....i did start using a razorblade, but i found out the hard way that it's really easy to scratch your paint....i didn't do it bad, but once is enough....so i would say no razorblade..
