Just be careful with the fishing line though, use the thinest one you have. And keep it lifted up as much as you can so its rubbing against the back of the badge rather than the paint work. Use your fingernail to take off the big bits of double sided tape stuck on the car then use eucalyptus oil to remove all the sticky stuff. I gave it a quick wipe over with a wet cloth after, then hit it with polish to make it all nice and shiny like the paint around it. If done well you would never be able to tell where the original badge was at all.

I just used my fingers, your all weakFair enough that might work, but I tried to keep mine looking new just incase I wanted to use them in other places on the car. The back ones would have come off easy but the side ones are like rubber almost and they damage very easily.
