Always used a hairdryer when I've taken badges off cars matey, heat gun will do it but you have to be careful that you don't get too close and blister the paintwork!

How come you're taking them off mate?

I am mulling over the idea of a civic type r,test drove the face lift(05) model yesterday and was quite impressed,rapid little bugger it was and maybe thinking of adding the jackson supercharger thingy,it should'nt be far off the pace of me sti,but with better mpg and cheaper insurance/service/brake/tyre/every other bloody thing

I think the sti will be going after her fare well blast down through france to euro disney
how are you matey by the way

I have removed some graphics and I found the best way was to use a hairdryer on the edge where you start (if you dont the vinyl seems brittle and when you pick the edge small bits go under your nails but then try to peel it off cold from that point as you seem to get a lot less gluey residue remaining on the paint.

When you have them all off (with the sorest fingernails ever) I found the best way to get rid of glue/marks etc is to go over the car thoroughly with meguires 1st stage (this will get rid of it) and then go over with the other 2 stages

I expect other things work well but this worked for me
