| Once youve warmed the letters or other badges up sufficiently, if they arent moving as you'd expect them to, dont do what I did first time round and try and force them off with something (and scratch the paintwork) use a piece of dental floss to "cut" them off. Worked a treat for me second time around.  |

that's what I did, with a kettle of hot water. then gently slid a credit card type object at the back of letters and gently scraped the sticker. after that I used tar spot remover to get rid of the glue residue then washed and polished
should be easy but if it's not coming off easy don't pull, apply more heat or hot water |
