I removed mine yesterday i used a paint stripper heat gun (GO VERY CAREFUL WITH IT) heat a little bit at a time as you peel it, once the main sticker is removed you'll be left with a heap of glue, you can then try using pure alcohol or i used HG (hagesan) Sticker Remover, bought from a local hardware shop. Brush it on leaving to work in for a minute or two repeat a couple of times an work the glue off with an old towel clean the boot then polish over maybe require a bit of T cut to blend the colour. Hope this helps worked a treat on mine.

I used a hair dryer to remove the sticker and then WD40 to remove all
the glue, it worked a treat.
