Try using a hair dryer - Most "stickers" have a basking of PSA, pressure sensitive adhesive - the adhesive is almost always acrylic based - the heat will loosen the adhesive and make it easier to remove - you can use the same method to remove an kind of vinyl from a metal sign, auto mobile etc. - Hope this helps - DB

Rubbing alcohol melts some kinds of adhesives.

The absolute best method I've found, and I've experimented with alot of them, is to use a hot hair dryer to remove the stickers, then use Golfsmith grip solvent to remove the glue. It dries quick, leaves no residue and does no hurt the finish. DO NOT use denatured alcohol, varnish remover, Goo-Gone, Acetone or any other petroleum based solvents! The will ruin the original finish. There may be others that are good to use, but I'll stick with the grip solvent...
