OK, my new VoW (Van of Win) has a few stuck on chrome letter jobbies that need getting rid of, otherwise it'll only be milf I'll be cruising with ;)

So what's the best way to remove these bad boys without ripping off the paint?

Hair Dryer will have them off in a jiffy. Also petrol on a rag will clean all the gunk off too. Or wait for a really cold winter and they just drop off!! My Vectra became an ctra.

Ive used a hairdryer before. Are they stuck on with foam pads?

I've heard of people using dental floss to cut through the glue.

Someone said boiling water should shift it but don't do what my mate did & pour a kettle over the boot of his car & then proceed to use a metal scraper to pry the letters off (yes he is an idiot).
