You could use your home blow dryer. Put it on high setting and get it close to the decal (figure A) and it will begin to soften the adhesive. Use your fingernail to slowly start peeling the decal.
Tip: Lauren says that you can buy plastic razor blades from a craft store and you could use it instead of possibly damaging your fingernails.

You have to have really crappy paint for a blow dryer to bubble up your paint. Dont use a plastic razor blade without the cloth trick i mentioned above. You'll put small scratches on the paint that are a PITA to buff off same goes for the credit card. But if you dont care really then go for it the scrathes will be small enough that they wont be noticable from a foot away.
As for getting rid of the gunk any adhesive remover will work just wipe it off as you go or risk staining the paint/ peeling the paint off in rare cases if left to sit.
