Meh, I've removed the badges off the back of the car few months back and can remember that the work to get the double-sided industrial strength tape off is a nightmare.

I've just took both rubstrips off and I'm left with two white strips of glue now, lol. I've tried applying hot water and scrubbing frantically but it's getting my nowhere fast, any easier ways that don't include power tools that I don't have?

Just wet it and used my old RAC card on the glue until there was basically just most of it has gone but the bits that are left over are very small in height, very close to the paintwork and I think I'll definitely need a hairdryer to get that off

I then applied t-cut in an attempt to brighten up the colour underneath and hide the remaining glue
