i would stay away from using a heat gun if you can. if you get it to hot your paint might start to bubble.

+1 for the 3M adhesive remover.

i think the badges run 35-50 if you buy new. i would just have one made of vinyl though.

at least if they try to steal that it might **** up the vinyl but you know they wont be getting the badge

Please don't use Goo Gone on any car... It'll actually remove the clearcoat..

Use a blow drier to add some heat, goo gone (or bug/tar remover), and a lot of rags and elbow grease.

spray it on, rub it into the backing a bit with your fingers and wait a bit. Take a rough terry cloth towel and a bit of eblow grease and it will come right off.

If you are lazy, you can get yourself one of these



its a giant eraser. Just slap it on your favorite drill, put the speed on low and go to down. They are mainly used for removing pin striping, but will work for all types of decals.

be careful of the heat, its possible to overheat the paint and pull of the paint if you go to fast or stay on one spot for too long.

Please don't use or recommend Goo Gone on any car... It'll actually remove the clearcoat..

3m Adhesive remover is much safer to use...

CREDIT CARD works the best.

soak it with w/e even water, i used windex. and use the 3M then works even better and then just use credit card and scrape it off.
