a hair drier will do. You can also use acetone (I think that's the name, is the same nail polish remover) and the some waxing and it'll be fine.

Use a heat gun but be carefull not to get the paint too hot or it will blister.

Use a hair dryer or a heat gun to aid in the removal of the stickers,Then use wax & grease remover and a little elbow grease and the sticker residue should come off pretty easy...
Once your happy that all the sticker and residue is gone i would suggest a light buff with a fine cutting compund or polish and you will never know that you had pink pin stripes...
Hope this helps..

hope they aren't to old...
i tried hairdryer/heat gun on mine... just wanted a cleaner look...
did not peel nicely, but even if the dealer put em on they woulda been 8 years old by then....
i believe if they're still fairly new, the heat trick works a treat..

as an ex signwriter use a heat gun and a citrus cleaner. Scrape the excess adhesive (once soaked in the citrus) with a hard plastic edge like a ruler etc as this will minimise the chance of scratching the paintwork. If they are old you will find the stripes will be quite brittle so heat slowly and peel slowly. If you have scratched them badly then good luck as they will come off in little bits and pieces

Prepsole(i think tahts how its spelt) will take all the glue and as for the actual stickers a hair dryer or heat gun will help.

I got half of mine off without heat and the other half with a flap disk.
