WD-40 will help soften stickers for removal. I'd hit the scratches with some Rustoleum.

Everything unbolted easily despite the rusty condition of the pipe itself (heavily rusted everywhere, and perforated in several places). Had to use a hammer to tap the junction at the turbo flex fitting but that popped off pretty easily as well. I ordered a new exhaust from Rusty, which arrived a few days ago. Expensive, but really nice stuff. It was shipped without packaging, just some foam wrap zip-tied around the pipe ends. So there are shipping stickers stuck on all over the place, as well as MB inventory stickers, which I'd like to remove before installing. The MB tags peel off pretty easily, but the shipping labels are stuck on pretty well. Does that Goo-Gone stuff work for that sort of thing? I'd like something that won't disolve the paint. Maybe just soak with detergent and use a plastic blade to scrape? Speaking of the paint, there are a few scratches here and there, presumably occurred in shipping and handling. I'd like to fill those in. I'm wondering if I should use hi-temp paint or just something like regular Rustoleum?
