Here's what I did recently and it worked like a charm:

1) Use a hair dryer to heat up the decals a bit. This will allow you to peel them off easier.
2) Use an old cotton t-shirt and some Goo Gone Sticker Lifter. You will have to use a little pressure to get the goo moving. DO NOT try to get it all off this way. Just some big bits of goo. Soak it with the stuff and rub.
3) Now, take another shirt and apply a liberal amount of 70% rubbing alcohol to the remaining goo and the shirt. You should be able to wipe the stuff of really easily. Just keep applying alcohol and wiping with a little pressure.

When done, rinse with water and dry throughly. You don't want to leave any solvent on the finish.
