I did mine lastnite. Only problem is now the paint has faded on the doors. Rear strip is fine, no fading at all. Just on the doors, so my car doors are going to have to go in for a respay or go for some vinyl graphics down the side. Not sure yet what to do. How did anyone else get around this?

you can get rubbing blocks for this purpose.
can't remember what they're called, but i have a feeling they are made of clay or hard rubber. bodyshops use them.

you can do it the hard way, but you'll end up with blisters on your thumbs.
i did my badges last week with a hair dryer, and bug and tar remover from from turtle wax. hard work.

Use some white spirits and a credit card or somat thats how i got mine off. After heating it up wi a hair dryer but do it slowly and keep rubbing the card against the bit ur heating off it's a lot easier. I just pulled one side off n it was a nightmare to take the glue off.

heat up with a hairdryer and pull off. you will have a bastard of a time getting the glue off underneath and the paint will probable look faded, but its worth it
