For anyone else who may come along. I followed this YouTube video, using Turtle Wax Label & Sticker remover along with a plastic razor to get mine off. (Other similar products may work as well or better, I don't know as I only used the Turtle Wax Product and have stuck with it)

If your guards are super worn/weathered/moldy you'll risk a higher chance of accidentally peeling up the paint with it. This happened to me and had to use a good amount of touch up paint to fix up one side. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK! : (I'm not liable for 💩!!!) 😅
