Default '90-94 Factory Hubcap Removal

'94 LS, factory alloys w/ hubcaps. Is there a trick to getting the hubcaps off without scratching them up over time near the removal cut-out area?

I've used the same method since 1991 when I bought my first Lexus.Use a single blade screwdriver overlapped several times with a retired washcloth.Be patient as sometimes they stick especially in the summer.Good luck.

Wrap electrical tape on the screw driver.
