Answer
Gary,

Try a pressure washer. A hot water one would be good, but cold water will work. Do not concentrate the blast on one area because you could damage the paint. Do not get to close with the water stream. Be patient. You may have to start the process by scrapping a corner with you fingernail.

Once the vinyl is removed you can use tar remover or any other adhesive remover to remove the sticky stuff. Keep the rag fairly wet and don't rub hard. Let the solvent work. Always try it on a place that you cannot see to make sure it won't damage the paint. follow up with a polish and a wax.

Hope this helps.
