ive done a search but none of them answer my question its not the holes im bothered about how easy is it to take them off when they are glued on and without damaging the paint in anyway and leaving marks where the badge and glue has been.a guide would be helpful guys.

heat them up wit a hair dryer to melt the glue, then using a old credit card slide it under and gently and slowly pull them off

i found it easy washing the car, then taking them off the water soaks the foam and there easier to get off, just take an old credit card to them and work slowly just in case the badge snaps

lol yeh dont want to damage the paint in anyway worse comes to worse ill need to result in the hair dryer but i once i get them off i want to avoid using white spirits as that will damage the paint am i correct?

i didnt really want to use a heat gun :) you can guess why lol

yep as said the glue should come of with the badge but just rub it with your fingers and it should flake off, you will have to pick all the old sticky stuff off the badges too but only takes 10 mins

Sticker remover or white spirit will also do the trick... :)

test the white spirit on a bit of paint you cant see first before using it on the boot but it shouldnt take the paint off you will however have to re apply wax/polish
