1.get out ure hairdryer and heat up the badges for about 5-10mins
2. carefully peel them off with a old credit card jobby
3.where the glue is get some petrol onto a cloth and rub into the glue.
4. get scrubbing, will take a few mins to get it off. if not get out some bug and tar remover and start rubbing with that.
5. wash the area and polish up

This what I did. Really easy way to do it.

The best and safest way is to pour very hot not boiling water onto the bagdes and then use Dental floss (yes really) and work along the back of them, job done.

I see the point - it would be like T cutting it with 2000 grit - wouldn't do it much harm.

Just FYI and obviously really - you should only have to rebuff the paint on older cars and cars whcih fade (ie red ones :lol:)

Its just how i done mine and its worked a treat!

Wasn't metalic so maybe Mav 3000 could be right but was fine on my flame red!

Grahams is the best idea. Id be reluctant to sandpaper the paint though - and don't do this ona metallic car!

I heated mine up, scraped them off using a covered pallet wallpaper scrper thing, then picked the remaining glue off by hand.

get a jug of boiling water and poor on to your badges, then with a flat blade wraped in cloth (to prevent scratches) peal the badges off, thats the easy bit!

If any sticky material is left peal as much off as possible and keep using water to soften it!

Then if there are any fade marks...... get some 2000grit sand paper and warm soapy water and rub down wher the badges were restoring to former glory!

Hope this helps
