I saw a post somewhere (can't find it) suggesting dental floss. Mine keeps shredding, I like the mint flavor though! Thinking about using a credit card.
Ideas? I have my "Goo Gone" , McGuires polishing wax all ready to go. I just hate to ruin finish.
Ideas appreciated!
Thanks

I used a very small flat blade screwdriver with a rag under the blade. I gently work it around the roundel until it comes loose, usually one time around. You are going to replace it aren't you?

Not sure how you would remove it. But I do like the number only on the right side. [thumb] I may consider taking it to a paint shop to get it removed if you are having problems, they may be able to make it look like nothing was ever there to give you the balance you are looking for.

PS...I had a sticker on the bumber of my truck that I thought would never come off (body color painted bumper part). I took it to a paint shop and they removed it while I waited. Only $50.00 and it looked perfect.

Thanks guys,
Good call on blow dryer, wish I'd seen it. Heat would've done a great job on adhesive!
Gave up on floss, used grocery store savings club card. (sometimes called "marketing tool")
Allis well, no scratches, used polishing wax though and it cleaned it up nicely.
Thanks again!
