shail 0 Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I just used my finger nails to get it off. Just takes a little time. Then followed up with a couple of applications of decent polish to get the last marks off Link to post Share on other sites

Nerih 0 Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 i would NEVER put any brillo pad near my car (again) i used it once to remove some wax deposits ont he lower sill, and it totallys scratched the paintwork, costing me 90 quid in repairs to paint it over.

Col_M 0 Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I'll agree with the hairdryer or really hot water will do the same thing, softens up the adhesive.Saying that i should really do mine for the stealth look 8) Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 some hot water from a kettle always helps and then its just manual labour!! some polishes remove the sticky shite left over or bug and tar remover auto glym Link to post Share on other sites
dubloke 4 Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 if you take a plastic filler similar in design to a grouting applicator and slide it behind the badge it should come off. you can use white spirit to remove the sticky reamining residue, then polish the area afterwards!

antera309 3 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 A Heat gun on a **LOW** setting is perfect for this. If you don't have a heat gun, the girlfriend/wife's hairdryer will do!!! Link to post Share on other sites
