toffee wheel, 2min job, bish bash bosh. but guessing you haven't got access to that then try wd40, its good at removing glue imo

you may have faded paint strips once you've got it all off and polished... what colour?

What's it like sticky stuff or white? Had this problem with the mrs's corsa c and it turned out to be condensation under the paint causing it. Heat gun sorted it out.

Not if you're gentle, there's a bit of a skill to it. Basically don't let it get too hot.

door is off the car so might be easier to work with one of those things, do you literally just grind it off with that then?

Yeah just bang it in your drill and give it the good news. Be careful not to catch the drill chuck on the door.
