    I used a hair dryer and some fishing line. Used the fishing line to take it off first then heated the remaining glue and pealed off. I have some tiny bits left but will be removing with some sonus clay this weekend. A good polish and wax should make it look alot better.

     I used some really strong thread. or you can use fishing line. then put some petrol on a micro fibre cloth and get rubbing. end result..... perfect clean de-badged look.

    When I did it, I used hot soapy water and dental floss.

    Ran the water over the badges for a while to softenen it up and used the dental floss to get behind the badges, side to side movement like a saw.

    Once off, quick wiper over and polish on the areas and they were gone!

     Heated mine up with a hair dryer, and used a credit card type thing to get under it.  Heat the glue up and rub it of with your fingers.  Be careful it does get too hot tho ;)
