Does anyone have a recommended method for removing stickers/decals from the bodywork ? Thanks.

Very hot water, then peel away. Use 'Goo Gone' if you're left with any residue. Then polish the car/van.

As above, but I use a hot air gun. Even a hair dryer will do.
Heat the decals up a little (not to much or they'll just stretch) and they should come straight off. Tar and glue remover for any left overs and a good polish.

Depending how they were put on, and how long they've been on for you might need to machine polish the area after you've got all the glue off to get rid of any outlines left on the paint.
