Use a hairdryer to heat and a plastic ice scraper to remove. Use goo-gone to remove any leftover sticker residue.

I removed old stickers from a fiberglass hull by soaking them good with WD-40 and then using a wooden spatula type thing to scrap them off. Once I got enough scraped up to grab hold off, I would pull sticker by hand - spraying WD-40 under sticker now and then. When pulling sticker off, pull it all the way back and kinda roll it off. WD-40 then will get the old glue off. Check to be sure WD-40 doesn't harm your aluminum.BL...

Try: De-Solv-It (citrus solution). It comes in a one pint spray bottle and is available at Wal Mart.It worked well for me.
