'the cum of sum yung guy' yeah whatever. Go and get a couple of small tins of lighter fluid and a new blade in your scraper. Work from the top of each character down. Get the lighter fluid behind the glue. Sorted in no time.  ;D

you put them on a drill , and there made out of rubber and caramel

 you use them to remove stickers when all else fails , I removed some chrome look stuff that was stuck right under the doors of my golf country when we got it from Austria , tried the heat gun , hot water ect ect ect but because it was like foil all you got was a couple of ml at a time befoure it snapped off and I didn't want to get it repainted lucky so hubby order a c.w. and it worked great

I don't actually think they are made out rubber and CARAMEL.  ;D
I believe the name "caramel" wheel was given to them because of it's colour/appearance.
