Nemesis and I used multipurpose cleaner on mine to remove the goo.

Spachelor, Metho, Sandpaper, Touch up paint, and Touch up clearcoat. Needless to say, I ****ed it up!

heat gun and fishing wire will do the trick, then probably some terps/metho or some strong alcohol to get rid of the glue grime; if u don't have a heat gun a hair dryer will be enough to do the job too

...fishing wire and turpentine...it will NOT screw you paint:doubt: I used it on my car...

Soak rag in turps and rub a bit on goos after cutting it with wire...you'll see...

Saw this the other day. I'm sorry, but it's not cool to stick Astra badges on your Merc, even if it's your company name.

turtlewax bug&tar remover did the job with very little scrubbin.
i sprayed it on then used the blow dryer and fishing line then just rubbed a little with a wet cloth and it came up awsome

I've been meaning to debadge my car for a while, the badges are old and faded so there's no point keeping them.

I debadged my old car and just heated the badges up with a hairdryer and used fishing line to cut through the goo and then bug&tar remover to take the goo off. And a cut and polish when I was done.
