To get the sticky off get a toffee wheel off eBay. Fits in your drill, made of rubber, will gently on a slow speed erase the glue. Gently does it though so you don't damage the paint. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

The rubber wheels are fantastic at removing the glue! |

I know mate, they are very good, but if he's only removing one then a bit of petrol is cheaper and I've found the Land Rover glue to be pretty easy to get off.... Pete

So the job is done. In the end I went with boiling water to soften the glue. I then used dental floss to slide under the badge and it came off reasonably easily. Then used petrol to clean off the residue, which it did easily and with no damage.
