There r a couple ways..
1. Using a heat gun carefully heat up each letter and pry them away with something that wont scratch ur car if u slip!! then using lighter fluid and paper towel wipe away the glue residue.
2. I've heard people use dental floss, never done it this way myself. just pull the dental floss behind the letter and go right thru the tape.

* heat the badge with a common hair dryer until it is warm to the touch and you can slightly start to pry it up.

* work dental floss underneath badge and start to "saw" away at the adhesive across the badge.

* behold the remaining gummy residue.

* use Goo B Gone to clean off residue.

* re-wax area and viola! You now have a dark shadow of the badge you just removed!


Well, is this pretty much how to do it? And how long do you heat up the badges anyway? I hear too hot can damage the paint?
