40 grit sand paper! just gotta be real careful!
holy crap... 40 grit?? must have to be REALLY careful.
goo gone for me. let it soak for 5-10 min and then apply elbow grease.
It's a little late now, but heat them up with a hair dryer first and you won't have any glue residue left on the sled.
If you've got some stuck glue, +1 for Goo-gone. Don't use paint thinner! It'll fade some plastics.

X3 on the 3M adhesive remover, it plain works!
The other thing that helps right off the bat is when your taking the decals off, use a heat gun. Just be careful and apply the right amount of heat, to little and decals leave residue behind. To much heat and you can cause damage. Basically play with the heat gun and do a test pull on a decal and see what comes up, with a little patience, you dial in the right amount of heat and presto, the residue left behind is minimal.
Here's the 3M stuff,

Also the better deal is the regular can, stay away from the aerosol.
With a heat gun and the 3M stuff I went from this,
To this in no time!
Goo Gone works really good or WD-40 works ok also with alittle elbow grease.

my wife cleans my shorts after a lap dance....don;t know what she uses but they are clean for the next go around..
Start out with a heat gun or blow dryer and get the decal removed. Then take a bunch of masking tape and make a ball with the sticky side out and just start dabbing at the residue left on the surface you want cleaned. The residue will stick to the tape. This will remove almost all of the residue if not all of it and if there is any left then go to the WD-40 or some other mild solvent.
