i just used hot water and scrubbed it with a lintless paper towel and a terry cloth towel. i had to keep getting new water, but that worked fine for me.

WD-40 works too. Be sure to wax after though.

Use either Goo Gone or rubbing alcohol... just wash the car after that.

I heated up the badge first then attempted to use dental floss. I had a hard time with the dental floss because it kept breaking on me so I moved on to use a credit card. Just make sure you go easy with the credit card because I went a little overboard and left tiny scratches.
After I got the badges off, I used Goo Gone to get the glue residue off. After that I used scratch remover polish to clean the whole spot and smooth everything out. Then I gave my baby's *** a wash.

(1) Heat with a heat gun
(2) Peel off with hands...don't be *****, yes it will be hot. Deal with it.
(3) Usnig your thumb, rub the remaining adhesive off using hard, up strokes with your thumb.
(4) Remove any trace adhesive with Goo Gone.

Your'e done!

Yeah...fishing line would work better than the floss because it won't break as easy. I didn't have any around so I went with credit card.

I used pb blast and let it soak in, then I used fishing string to get the letters off. Cleaned it with some simple green and used a hair dryer and my finger to remove the rest of the sticky stuff. Washed and waxed and she's good =)

you are just going to have to pull the letters and see, personally i bet he just painted around the letters and didnt remove them.

Goo gone works awesome, heat gun if you have one but be careful not to take the paint. Dental floss and goo gone is best, Then clean the spot and wax it.

Heat will always get adhesive off, also paint so be careful.
