Default Removing Reflectors

I just bought the saddlebag guards for my RKC and see that Im supposed to remove the reflectors from my guards. Any one else done this? Any tips on removal or cleanup? I hate the thought of scratching the guards trying to get the reflectors off.

Monofilament (fishing string) will peel off the reflectors easily.

WD-40 will clean up the sticky residue without harming paint or chrome.

Others may have different solutions, but this always works for me.
