Red face Newbie Badge Question

Ok this might seem like an extremely newbish question but...

What is the best way to remove my badges without scratching/damaging any of the paint on the trunk?

Thanks for the help.

Sean

Better noob question:

Best way to apply new badges? Do I have to get 3m adhesive and cut it into the tiny letters of my new badge? Or is there a better way?

eah i think the best way is to get a used up t-shirt and put in hot water.

then take the rag or whatever u had push it against the badge

after peal the badges off

and finally for any left over sticky stuff, use car wax to take it off!

What I did was use a blow dryer to heat all the badges up and then use dental floss in behind them. Just run it back and forth behind the badges and they will come off.

After that use goo gone to get rid of any leftover adhesive that they use to put them on.

And most importantly after you take them off make sure you wash and then wax the area to make sure it is protected. This should also get rid of any ghosting you have if there is any.

Hope this helps.

3m stuff is the most popular. But, some also try a liquid/gel glue, don't recall the name. Do a search for glue's and you'll probably find some information.
