Slowly working my way round my car with megs 2 stage polish.

Been a few years since I broke out the DAS Pro and this paint is really in bad condition.

There are 3 badges on the back of the car, I was going to remove all 3 and then just replace the main badge (audi OOOO)

Whats the best way to remove? In the past I have used hot water but not sure if there is a better method these days?

Warm it up, hairdryer or hot air gun (carefully and on low) then some fishing line sawing though the sticky backing.

I've often found the hairdryer is easier.

I also use some autoglym tar remover to get rid of any left over adhesive too

I’ve used dental floss and it worked fine. Just make sure you heat the glue sufficiently. A hairdryer will be fine.
