    Has anyone removed the name badge from the boot? If so, how do you do it without causing damage? How difficult is it?

    Dental floss - get behind the the lettering and work your way back and forth until free.

    Then use tar remover to get rid of any residue.

    From Factory JCW to Audi TT Quattro - Might be back one day!

    Always a good idea to heat it right up as well. A hairdryer does a good job, it helps seperate the adhesives and the bad pretty much just picks off

    Same here on a number of cars, fine with the Mini.

    Some cars have badges affixed by bolts through the boot lid and you're left with holes.

    I just noticed a scratch that's appeared along the whole length of my John Cooper Works badge that wasn't there last time I washed it, admittedly some time ago :-) Looks like someone's attempted to run something under the badge to remove it, definitely not bodywork friendly tooth floss or fishing line :-(

    I had noticed the other day that the car and some parts of the wheels had been washed John
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    LOL, I was planning washing the remaining parts of the wheels another day, or more accurately, probably another month.
