boiling water on the badges that will soften the adhesive, then just pull them off, as for the wheel centres, i use a sharp point and flicked them out some of my Previous cars

Hair dryer on the badge, melts the black adhesive and the badge just drops off, or will light persuasion anyway.

I would just be worried on using any checmical or anything on the car, in case it made the shine go or worse take a layer of the mettallic paint off!! stick to a hair dryer and towel i think.. |

Mine took no chemicals or fishing gut etc. to cut sticky pad. Simply get fingernails under one edge and then VERY slowly start to apply pressure away from car body. The sticky pad will start to peel away from paint - keep an even pressure and do not be tempted to go quickly. keep it very slow and it will just come away. I didn't even have a mark left when mine came off! 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

On my last visit to the dealer, I ask them to take out the HSE lettering, thinking they would certainly do it better. The result was good, but not completely perfect. With sunshine you can slightly notice that something was scrub there.When I replace the LR badge… I definitely will do it my self.

you can also use petrol in removing residue lest by the adhesive.
