I used the fishing line to take them off using a sawing motion. For the sticky part, I first used a plastic scraper and goo gone, but scraped the hell out of my car. Rubbing compound took the scratches out. The scraper wasn't working too well. I then used gloves and just rolled the sticky stuff off. It took about an hour, and became a little fun. I kind of enjoyed watching the silver stuff just roll into one big ball. I'm going to wash and wax the car tomorrow morning. THe gloves made all the difference. Hope this helps someone else, because I was very frustrated when I first started.
