    Removing Badges

    Does anyone know a good method to remove the POLO badges from the rear of a POLO?

    I have removed badges in the past..but never on a POLO...i normally would use a heat gun or hair dryer?

    any suggestions or better ideas?

    Cheers

    I did mine a few weeks back.

    I used a heat gun, and fishing wire, a plastic knife. It took a long time, you just have to be careful with it. I heat the back of the badge up, use the fishing wire, and occasionally, used the butter knife as leverage to help "pull" it out..

    Not sure whether this is the best(safest) effort, but it worked for me. You'll also need some adhensive cleaner as well, if you want to get rid of all the glue.

    did mine a few weeks ago, just heated with a hair dryer a little, then used dental floss to separate the badge off the car. Then just gently peel off the glue and should be perfect. Needs a good clean to get rid of those last new marks ect but yeah probs took 10min to do.
