I managed to get the G300 and Turbo Dielsel badges off with some hard pulling and dental floss (ingenious I know :wink: ) but now there is a base residue that I cant remove even with a little elbow grease and white spirit...
Any ideas?!

Or hairdryer, if you don't want to damage the paint.

Brake cleaner or use with CARE, acetone. Do try a sample patch some where un seen on effects on paintwork. I have never tried acetone on these mordern water soluble paint work.
