What's a good and simple way to remove hard-to-remove car stickers?

Question

I've tried rubbing a hot water-soaked rag over the sticker repeatedly (which usually works for registration stickers on the windshield) but it still won't budge. The sticker is on the body/trunk and has been on for around 3 years already. I'm afraid to ruin the paint. Help!

Heat vinyl stickers with a hair dryer or heat gun. Do not overheat the paint, or it will be more likely to chip.

Peel the sticker slowly, pulling it off at a 90-degree angle while heating the next section.

Put a solution of 1 c. rubbing alcohol and 1 c. water in a spray bottle.

Squirt the sticker with the solution and allow it to soak in for a few minutes.

Never use a metal scraper or anything abrasive on your car's finish; try a plastic putty knife instead.

Waxing the car will help buff up the surface after the adhesive has been removed.
