I can't see any cleaners touching it to be honest.

Did you try the hairdryer method? If you're managing to pick bits off it's worth trying.

Saw a bottle labelled "Sticky Stuff Remover" (beside the paint stripper) when in Focus DIY at the weekend.

I used to work at a sign company - we used to heat old viynl (?) up with a hairdryer, pull it off then wipe something like thinners on it, though I wouldn't use thinners on the van. Contact a sign company and they may let u have some!

I have used this from Lakeland and its great.  If the stickers can be peeled off then this would tackle any sticky residue left.  (I would test a small area first)

Hairdryer, or betterer a hot paint gun. Just warm the sticker and peel away.

Then meths to get the glue residue off.

I have used this method on cars and caravans.
