Default Removing Letter's/Badges Off Boot

Had ago the other day with the Mrs Hair Dryer. Came off ok but was left with the Letter Marks Etc.

Tried T-Cut but no joy.

Was thinking of that Bug/Tar Remover from Halfords

Did mine last weekend, removed excess glue with tar remover and then gave a good polish, you can still see where the wrx was but not the rest going to have a go with a machine polisher.

Be very careful if you try thinners you could take the paint off.

Are you trying to get the glue off or the letters you can see in the paint.
If its the glue then a little drop thiners or tar remover i used panel wipe. If its the writing you can still see then the wet flatting and cutting works perfect.
