only if it does not come off easily but be carefull. And when it is off any good alcohol will do the job, clean it and let it then dry, then you have no spots.

I did. Softens the adhesive somewhat.

1. Hair dryer. Aim about 8-10 inches away and only for about 10 seconds tops.

2. Dental Floss...drag it slowly across the back. If you get a tough area, pull the hair dryer back out and get that area.

3. Goo Gone.

4. Wax.

Enjoy.

I used a hair dryer for about 45 seconds per number ... fishing line to cut behind ... lots of goo-gone ... and then a bit of hand polishing to clear away the fade marks and minor scrub marks from rubbing off the remaining glue. Finished off with a couple of coats of Zaino Z5 Pro ... good as new.

Hello,

for how long did you have your badge on your car?

I am thinking also to remove the badge but I`m afraid that at the end I will have some marks on the paint because of the colour degradation from the sun.

I have space grey and the car is 11 months old.
