Ionised water or lighter fluid work well

+1 for lighter fluid. Also cleans up rosewood fingerboards rather well:

As said previously, lighter fluid, also get one of those scrapers for getting ice off your windscreen, it'll scrape the stickers right off and won't scratch the paintwork (if you're careful).
