i think an old licence or library card is bit safer.

to remove the shit left over, get some eucalyptus oil and scrub with tissue paper.

Dental floss, and a hairdryer.

Hold the hairdryer up to the letters for a bit til they get warm (this makes the glue easier to remove), then run the dental floss behind the letter until it cuts through the glue, removing the letter. VERY little chance of scratching or scuffing, and it works a treat

Use metho to remove the remaining glue residue.

I used hair dryer, and my drivers license :P
Then clean the remaining glue with my fingers.

After doing so, I put them back because the car looked funny without badges.
