Heat it up with a heat gun. Don't apply the heat too long or you could start to burn the paint. Take some heavy (200-400 pound) fishing line and some gloves once you've heated it up and drag it behind the badge. Should come right off. If you don't have a real heat gun you can heat it with a hair dryer (weak!) or leave it in the sun on a warm day.

<<<Fail...

Why don't you just glue the new badges over it and not worry about it?

they make adhesive remover? go to a parts store and ask for it...they have it. done it several times. no matter what though, you're still going to see where the badges were so at least you'll know exactly where to put the new badges

use your fingure nail to get the big stuff off, wd40 will clean up the rest. clean it up, then wax it.

i like the idea of putting the new badges over it lol. I took em off used this sap n tar remover for cars washed my car and it just looks like the paints gone south.. i plan on having my car repainted soon so i guess when they go to paint it they will just sand it off and i can put the badges on after that. Looks pretty slick without the badges imo... atleast on the side that came off cleanly lol.
