wallpaper steamer works a treat  (just use the hose with a steam jet not the plastic tray thing) but your thumb nails go soft after a bit from all the picking!!

had to do one the other week,heat up with the mrs hairdryer,get a scraper and scrape off as you heat up the vinyl.
Rub what you can off and then scrape the residue left off and then polish yoir van and you will see any glue after you have polished,if there is use scraper again.
Job done.doesnt take too long.
