You can use Goo Gone, but a much less expensive way to accomplish the same thing is as follows:
Get a large container of good old fashioned Lighter Fluid or even Paint thinner (NOT lacquer thinner) Either of these will work, though lighter fluid works a little better you get a larget quantity of paint thinner for the price. Neither of these products will harm your paint.
Stripes can be a challenge if they are a few years old. They become brittle and will break every 1/16 of an inch. Let the car sit in the sun and use your fingernail to lift an edge then apply the fluid to the edge and keep it wet while pulling gently. If you must use something to scrape and you are not confident (I've done this for years and still cringe at a razor blade) with a razor blade then use a plastic putty knife.
Also, rear and side emblems generally have an alignment hole or two in the body panel underneath them... just an fyi.
Do NOT use any flamable material and a heat gun, it's a no brainer.
A heat gun will freshen the adhesive and make it easier to remove but do be very careful, too much heat and you can melt a fiberglass panel or burn your paint. Use extreme caution.
Good luck! Let us know how you do it and how it went.
OH! To remove the adhesive film left by the emblems squirt some lighter fluid or paint thinner on a terry cloth towell and rub. It will dissolve and then apply again with a clean spot on the cloth and get the sticky off.
If the stripes have been on awhile you may have to follow with a buffer to make the area outside the stripes or emblems match the part that has previously been uncovered and you should know that paint fades, not under stripes and emblems though, so you may have ghosts.
