Use a hair dryer - should work. It works on paint as it is simply damp underneath the clearcoat

Righto had the very same when i took mine off..i used some old brass cleaner i had under the sink for 10'000 years..you know what ,it worked a treat...and if you need to buy some its only a sqiud or so from poundstrecher gd luck.

AutoGlym Super Resin Polish - works a treat, takes about 2 mins... easy..

Removes the outline if removing the griffin badge also.... and whilst your there give the whole car a going over

I did and looks great now - lol
