  1. Thanks guys, Glad you all like it, im quite happy with the results! Def worth a go if you have considered it, quite easy to do really! Clinton
  2. Hi guys, Right i gave this a go today, let me know what you think? I started out with a hairdryer and a plastic ice scraper to get the badges off, this was very easy and only took a couple mins to do. I then sprayed some Sticky Stuff Remover (purchased from halfrauds at 4.99) onto the glue that was left on the bootlid. After a few mins i used the plastic ice scraper to remove the glue. You need to spray and scrape a few times as you wont get it off in 1 go and i wanted to be very careful not to scratch the paint. Once all the glue was removed, there is still the outline of lettering left. I then used Meguirs Scratch X which is similar to T Cut and many other variants that you can get, to try and remove the lettering outline as best i could. I then gave it a wax and hey presto!! To be honest its an ok job, if you look closely you can still see a faint outline of some of the lettering, i probably just need to spend longer and give it more elbow grease!! But i couldnt get it to show in a photo so you do have to look closely. As requested i have taken photos, 1st shows as it comes, then with the badges removed, then a photo with a couple coats of sticky stuff used, then the last 2 are the end result. Thanks Clinton
  3. Oh god....& that is exactly why i like to ask how to do things first lol! I once used the scourer side of a sponge to get tar & bits of my bmw 330ci coupe, didnt show anything when i was doing it as it was wet...but when it dried... :(
  4. Excellent, think im going to give this a go tomorrow if the weather holds out! Clinton
  5. Thanks Scooby Pete, i just wanted to make sure that it was possible, didnt want to take the letters off to find out there would be a permanant outline or something. Hi, yea sure i will take a few pics during the process and the end result (providing i dont ruin it lol) Clinton
  6. Hi guys, How easy is it removing the Subaru and WRX badges off the boot lid? Im assuming they are just stuck on so will not leave any holes, but some are stuck on very well and becomes difficult to remove glue residue etc so just seeing what they are like on the scooby? Thanks Clinton
