Scrub hard and heat it up some more.

Gas and brake cleaner WILL eat the paint.

you can continue to heat the adhesive, it'll make it easier to rub off.

brake cleaner doesn't affect your paint if the suface is washed with some soap and water afterwards.

Stickers shut up. Also brake cleaner is only bad if your a moron and let it dry. Apply, and wipe, and rinse. I worked at a tire store for 5 years. I know what im talking about.
