ok...a: get some heat...a hair dryer will do....get most of it off (as much as you can) then use some goo gone to take the rest of it off...then wax it like you have never waxed before! lol

In all honesty man ya just gotta work with it. Did you heat it up using a blow dryer or anything? Heat it up for a while, then try to use the old card.

There alot of tape behind that badge. Just keep at it with the fishing lines. IUsed card but it ended up scratching my paint alittle so becareful. Try heating it up if you have a way.

if you heat up the area around the badge with a hair dryer or a heat gun and then use some heavy fishing line and wedge it behind the badge most of the glue will come off with it.

after that just use goo gone (worked for me) and your fingers to peel off the rest of the glue. and when you're all done clean it and wax it.

lovely

dont use the heating **** cause you might damage your paint. but it does work if you do it right. i just parked my car so the back end faced the sun when it rises and let it naturally get hot. take some 15pound fishing line and double wrap it (make to 2 lines) to take it off. use the saw method ( back and forth) and it should come right off

Like they said heat it up and use fishing lines or dental floss. DO NOT use a card I did that and its the one blemish on my car to this day.

Hammer and chisel will work as a last resort.
