I did mine after it was cold for a while. It took me around 2 hours to the the whole car(my car had 3 lines on each side. 2 thin and 1 thick). I just did a small section at a time and cursed a lot. Afterwards I washed the residual away with some goo gone stuff.

I did notice that it helped if I put on the goo gone stuff and let it soak for a minute or so... Not sure if that's good for the paint though.

Go buy a big pink eraser. Thats what I used on mine, and goo gone. Let the goo gone sit and then use the eraser on it. You just have to buff it all at the end.
