any ideas?

Put the badges back on

There was a debadgeing thread here somewhere and if I remeber correctly, the OP used some solvent to soften and remove the glue.

will solvent damage my paint at all? or dull it?

nope it shouldnt...go to an auto shop and ask for "prepsol" or a similiar glue/wax remover worked fine for me

you need heat

carmel wheel will take it off. set the drill to a slow speed and take ur time.

prepsol works perfect, then a good polish or overall cut and polish depending how fussy

I used eucalyptys oil.

Apperently caramel wheels will burn your paint if you have acrylic paint. I haven't taken the silicon off my doors because I never got a definite answer if I have 2pac or acrylic.

For my badges, I used wax and grease remover that I got from Autobarn.

The best way badges door strips or stickers is a heat gun it melts the glue easy and things just peel off

wax and grease remover, it will ball up into a heaps sticky glob, just keep rubbing your thumb over it, youll get it, caramel wheels are okay just go over it lightly and dont stick in 1 spot for too long, it wont burn your paint as soon as you touch is, if you do use a caramel wheel and burn it, put it back on to cover, or get it touched up, even if it means 10 sec to cut at it with the caramel wheel and a 1 minute cooldown for the wheel, just take it slow to be sure
