WD40 is really good for removing stickers, and doesn’t dissolve paint or plastic. Let it soak in, peeling away the glossy surface layer if necessary. Once it’s good and soaked you should be able to scrub it away with a paper towel, then clean with detergent.

Even the paint in the engine compartment is in pretty good shape.  The rubber bumpers are excellent, except for the aforementioned sticker residue.  All the pollution stuff, etc., is all there.  Very unmolested if someone is looking for a really good, rust free, Texas car.  Still has the dealer emblem on it, from right here in Dallas/Fort Worth.  Lots of documentation, too.  The foam in the passenger seat is shot; we are replacing it.  this thing really belongs in a museum.
