1999 c230

hello, i recently purchased a 1999 mb c230 with 78k miles. The previous owner put a different badge on the back. It reads clk320 kompressor i want to remove this but im not sure how. Anybody know of a product to use to de badge the back of the car. Also i need some advice on what to use on my rear side window. It has a big old bar code. I want it removed as well. Thanks!

what i did was use a heat gun and floss to take the writing off. i then used "Goof-off" to remove the glue. my w202 is black and some of the shine did go away but im going to give the car a buff anyway so it's no biggie

yeah heat to melt the glue and floss to get it off. It's pretty standard procedure. Just don't try to scrape it off or anything like that you'll damage the paint.
