warm with a hair dryer andpull the badges off, then pick the rest of the tape off and polish

Warm water Is a good way too. Softens the adhesive pads on the back of the lettering.

dental floss I used to help

 

[diss_50]

Or you could use a screw driver to get the letters off, a piece of sandpaper to deal with the adhesive, then a brillo pad to polish. HTH

best way i find is warm water (just between warm and hot) and a credit card. use brasso to get rid of the adhesive.

works a treat

whatever you do DONT pull them.

you will more than likely pull the clearcoat off with it.

warm water and dental floss is your best bet. then some tardis to remove the leftover glue.

then re-polish and wax the bootlid

Brasso

Boil the kettle - let it cool down for 2-5min - pour it over the letters and get some dental floss to take off the letters.

Give the area a quick wipe/wash and a little polish helped remove anything left - took 10min max

i wouldnt have been able to work that out.
tar and glue remover works well at getting the glue off when the badges have been removed not that ive done it but i know it does.

 

[Aimez]

he put seat bag instead of badge read it like that it makes sense, I presume he is a lovely Scottsman by his first sentence

i pried them out a little using a filler spreader and removed all the remaining adhesive tape using M600 (de-greaser) and farecla G3'ed the whole tailgate and now its asif no nameplates were ever on it! nice big smooth panel.

I'll be doing this shortly,do you know or is there a guide on here on how to remove the boot handle?

 

[tkjeeves]

First i used the Search button.... (sorry in a bad mood today)

In short, an alternative way is WD40, use librally, wait for a minute or so, then plastic card and scrap off, clean up any messy gunk afterward with your fav solvent.

fail.

plastic card and scraping dont go well with clear coats. some nice marring for you to polish.

sorry im in a mood aswell

there are less "harsh" ways of doing this - its not rocket science.

hot water.

dental floss.

tardis.

no marring scratches.

you will need to re-wax.


how hard can it be?

 

[tkjeeves]

not sure how hard you're scraping, the solvents in the WD40 should have soften the glue and foam backing enough that you could just tear the lettering off with your nails, but that just has the tendency to just tear the foam backing leaving it just a slightly harder job to clean up afterwards...
