What is the easiest way to remove the gold writing off the side of a copy kashi without ruining the seat ?

Cheers

proper thinners should wipe it off no probs, not that turps/white spirit shite but real thinners, cellulose if poss, but don't soak it, just a damped rag will suffice.

i can't vouch for non kashi seats, but it worked a treat for me. If all else fais then a hairdryer should do it, it was attached with heat.
