petrol, let it soak in then rub it off, then t-cut, or i found that dry cleaning chemical worked a treat(wierd dont ask how i found out it worked) but i doubt ud get any of that! get a rubber on it aswell to get rid of the last bits!

lighter fluid always worked for me, it literally melts the glue like substance without damaging the paint! fantastic stuff!

u can also use a bit of fishin wire and rub it up and down until the badge comes off. I've never used this method but apparently it works well. I used the rubber/t-cut/elbow grease method !!

i used a hair dryer to warm the glue, then rubbed it off with my thumb. did the side strips of a cavalier like this. i used rubbing compound from halfords to get tiny wee last bits.

side strips up to a certain year maybe 1997 were held on just with double sided tape, not sure after this date though
