I manage a fleet of vans and have to do this every time I sell an old one.

Usually a heat gun and straight razor works. Not a blow drier but a real heat gun - they're cheap.

If no go with that route - older and drier, brittle stuff:
Use 3M "woodgrain and stripe remover"

Spray only on small area at a time, let it work and scrape off.

Then use the adhesive remover if you have sticky stuff left over:

Other products are here too:

I have found that most auto parts stores have one or two cans of each of these or can get them in a day or two.
