Put a hairdryer on it for a few minutes....it will pull right off. Use some goo gone for the residue.

Debadging? Have you used the search button? It's your best friend! Lol.

Anyways, from my past experience, I've just used two credit cards to wedge underneath whatever might be taking off. (get a hair dryer to heat up the emblems to make it easier to yank them off) Yank the hell out of the badge to get it off. There might be some sticky residue, just use some goo gone on it.

Sorry if this is all jumbled I had too many interruptions as I was typing and it's a Friday night, so bare with me! Let me know if this answers your question.

i always use a piece of fishing line wrap it around the emblem with a single knot and pull the two ends tight , and the goo gone is good for the clean up

I plan on taking the chevy badge off the trunk soon, its too gawdy IMO. So goo gone works well and dosn't mess the paint up?

The bowtie takes forever, but everything else is a breeze.
I just used fishing line, probably the best way. But wear gloves or else you will get some nasty cuts.
Then goo gone to finish it. It takes a while to get all that black tape off.

I used dental floss, took alot of it (kept breaking) and i think fishing line will work better. But I had something better than goo gone, it didn't work to good for me so I used a stripe off wheel. It took off the dealer lettering and the black adheasive tape quick.

I know at the detail shop I work at we use a heat gun to take the emblem off and use varsol to take the glue off and it works really good

heatgun, for 15 seconds, slide waxed dental floss under the emblem and it will come off. use bug and tar remover or goo gone for the excess residue. applying the heatgun again after the emblem is off will help too. just don't keep the heat on the paint for too long or you risk damaging it.

credit cards scratch..bad idea to use them.
