16v Badges

[allyVTS]

Just after some advice please. I removed the 16v badges on my VTS as i dont like them because ever 1.2 corsa has them. I managed to clean one side up fine but the other side has a very hard glue left.

The side that cleaned up fine didn't look like the original badge but the other one does. In the end i put 2 new badges on. I would really like to remove them but this glue just wont come off. It's that hard it looks like if it were picked off it would take the paint with it. I did try but couldn't pick it off anyway. Is there anything i can do or use to remove it.

Ok cheers mate, is that glue remover safe to use on my paint work?

[samvts]

yeah its fine on paint, not all types are though so be careful will say on the back of the pack anyway.

hope it works if not the polisher is all i can suggest, rep if it works FTW

[allyVTS]

Ok well i will just buy that one have you actually used it in paint before. Rep required anyway as it's a great idea.
