yea i started this morning only took 15 minutes for one badge, then it started to rain. i bought the "eraser" wheel. turns out its a 3m stripping wheel. eraser wheel autozone had never heard of and oriely's had to figure out what i was talking about. anyways, i used my moms hair dryer, the wheel and my fingernails and it worked great. with the wheel though, is it more effective to use it dry or wetted with a little goo gone or something?

I left mine out in the sun on a hot day, and it peeled right off in like 5 seconds per side! Serious No residue either

wow thats lucky, but im sure the older the truck gets the harder it is. and mine being close to 7yrs... not lookin good but earlier tonight i tried to pull it off with my fingers cold and it didnt seem like it was giving too much resistance so i might be pleasantly surprised.
