i did this today. used a hairdryer to help get the stickers off. after that i soaked a rag with turps and wiped it over the panels. then used a plastic gyprok spatula to scrape it off, but the spatula scratched the paint when it dug in in the corners, fingernails also helped.
turbos are nice but i'd rather be blown

That's because prepsol takes the polish off the paint, once wou've used it, you ned to repolish

olive oil
trick is to leave it for ages.

A bit of absorbant paper soaked in it can do the job. But leave it for as long as poss..

Petrol worked the best for me too, got it off in no time. Tried wax remover but very slow.
Years ago i removed the stickers from a 60 i had using prepsol. That really got it off fast. As Mud Club said ..polish after.....then ya free to scratch the shit out of it in the bush... :D
