theres a write up somewhere... use floss and just use a back and forth motion behind the adhesive and it should come off. if allt he adhesive doesnt come off theres plenty of things to use to get it off

After the floss use a blowdryer to get the glues off. Don't use a rag or you will scrach your paint.

Going generic...emblem free

It's super easy. First use a hair dryer to heat up the emblem and the double sided tape used to adhere it. Then drag the floss under the emblem and it cuts through the double sided tape like butter. The remnants of warm tape will peel off very easy. One guy used fishing line which is a lot stronger than floss. Takes only a few minutes to go generic... Then a little wax and buff to a high gloss.

I just used 3M Adhesive remover and poured it around the emblem. After that I wiggled it off and then I waxed the area and gave it a nice glossy finish!
