what i do is use a small bit of paint thinners with a cloth but being carefull not to remove the paint. i then get one of those plastic filler spreaders to scrape it off and it wont scratch paint

Didn't effect my paint when I debadged the rear, the glue came off a treat. Im not taking my rub-strips off though, so have no idea if the glue is different, and/if it'll effect the paint. Shouldn't do though, why would it not effect the paint on the back of the car, but effect it on the side?

I reckon it'll be fine. IIRC Epo uses it alot.....have a word 8)

^ same glue on the badges as on the sides. Kinda foamy double sided tape stuff. Noice.

I think epo is on comission from Autoglym :lol:

use a stanley knife blade, and just run it across the stuff then just a bit of warm water to get the last little stains off, worked atreat, but i didnt do it my dad did and he owns his own body shop. but try it.
