Your going to need the heat gun / hair dryer to get them off.. the goo gone is used to get the sticky stuff off after the badge is removed..

Dental floss and tar/bug remover. Use the dental floss as a saw and it will work, only way i do it.

Yup and this is 100X faster than a blow dryer, it's up to you how you want to do it, dump bug/tar remover on the emblem and let it sit or saw off then rub off. I did my whole car in like 10 mins.

Why don't you just get some dental floss and try to do it w/o some kind of heat?

You probably could do it.

Oh

Yeah, the heat just makes it get soft so it's easier.

It might take a lil more elbow grease, but nothing to much of a hassle.

It's safer to the paint especially on new paint, but just as great for old.

My paint never peels. So it wouldn't matter for me.

I had trouble without heat... the more heat i used.. the easier it came off...

I guess i just got impatient trying to do it without the hair dryer.. But it would have taken me a while without it.

if you have fishing wire use it instead of floss. floss does work but not as great. i started debading it at my bfs house with fishing wire and it was working good then the next day at my house i was finishing it with floss and it was a bitch to do. its not as strong as the wire so it kept breaking =[
