Anyway, if you get some dental floss and then get gehind the badge and use the floss to cut through the adhesive by moving it back and forth, like a saw, the badge will fall off and then you can peel off what adhesive is left.

Sounds weird but it works, believe me. I got the tip off another user on here.
Wonder if that was one of mine? I got that tip from the LexusOwners Forum - dental floss with a hairdryer first to slightly soften the adhesive.

I don't think they should put anything on the paintwork either. One dealer put their interior window sticker right over the rear window heating elements so I asked them to remove it 'toot-sweet' which they did.
