The standard answer it to park it outside on a hot hot day and use fishing line to cut the glue in half, maybe use a hair dryer to heat it even more. After that if the glue is thick scrape some off and use it to pull more off. It's hard to explain but it's kind of like making a snow man, the ball pics up more material pulling more and more off the car. Once most glue is gone use WD40 to get the residue off. Spray it one, let it soak for a few seconds, and scrup it and the glue off. It coats the glue and makes it non-sticky. Others use stronger stuff to melt the glue, but WD40 and elbow grease work fine.

another good way to do it is instead of using wd40 you can use rubbing alcohol

you went searching through some old post man. I took my badges off over a month ago. but yeah rubbing alcohol is what i used. I didnt even have to heat my badges up. I just pulled string behind them, and then put rubbing alcohol on a rag and wiped my car clean

the way i did it was the spray the hell out of it with the wd40 then got dental floss basically the same as fishing line and the badge came off after alot of sawing.

Hey guys im new here so this is my first post. I have had my share of cars and have de-badged them all. A great way to remove the badges is to take a hair dryer and hold it right up to the badge for a couple minutes. It melts the glue and the badge almost peels right off. Also it takes most of the glue off if you do it right so its easy clean up. hope this helps.

Not really, the glue should be weaker. You may have some color fade but not many people have fade that's super noticeable.
