Glad you got it removed.

What they used is probably Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover. Great stuff.
I did ask him if it was autoglym tar remover but he told me it wasn't. Its some trade stuff they get which they use to valet cars that come in and request stickers to be removed. After years of being on the car it leaves lots of glue residue. The solvent he used won't spoil the paint despite rubbing hard with a cloth. And it works fast.

I think with the autoglym tar remover, one can't really rub hard on the paintwork. (if memory serves me right).

He did tell me while I was there, not to use diesel or petrol to rub the sticky tape off either.

cheers

Interesting, wish I had some! Shame they don't sell it if it's that good.

For me, I won't be debadging a BMW car again. Will prefer to order it without the badge.
