Not sure if the hair dryer will work. Cars get very hot sitting in the sun. Try working some fishing line between the letters and the car and pull while working it up and down.

this is how ive done it in the past... get a hair dryer, start to try to pull off the letters/badges and heat the part where the adhesive is on teh badging with the hair dryer, it should eventually peel off.

If you dont have fishing line, Dental floss works just as well.

Anyone remove the yellow sticker on the passenger side door(inside front) ? it is in regards to a child safety seat. Did it come off with little residue?

just dont scrub it too hard... gently use a cotton towel with the nail polish remover. it wont leave swirls if you are gentle

The WD-40 should remove anything sticky, and I have used it many times with great results. I always spray on a soft cloth, not the actual surface. I forgot to say earlier that I meant for the residue left from the yellow sticker inside the door, but I guess that was asked by Zeppelin. I am sure that you will be good to go now. Good luck my friend.
