De-Badging?

pair of thick rubber kitchen gloves, 1 kitchen non-scratch scrubbing sponge and a credit card. use credit card to remove the plastic strips. then use gloves so boilin kettle water doesnt burn so much. might wanna wear a thin pair floves under the rubber ones cos boilin water still burns a bit through em, but i manned it out lol. Then just soak the rubber glue stuff with the boiling water on the sponge and hold it onto it a min and do a few times to heat up glue so that it just wipes off. Takes time and u gotta boil an infinate amount of kettles but that the best way for you if u dont have muscle power

then just t-cut/sand the newly revealed and surrounding area to make it blend in with the rest of the cars paintwork.

if u r going to use any spirits use metholated ones (purple colour) as its for cleaning rubish off av used it on many things including platsics and its not as ruff on the surface as white spirits but as a said b4 use the hairdryer lol

it heats the glue and softens it so it comes off easyer

Get a toffe wheel from your local bodyshop/motor factors(about £5). It goes in your drill and you just buzz the paint off. Just be careful not to use a too higher speed and only press on gently!!
