I did this Saturday, and instead of saying use the search function. You heat them with a hairdryer and then use fishing line to run behind the emblem. What is left is a bunch of adhesive(sp?) use the heel of you thumb to rub most of it off right away. once all of the emblems are off use some tar and bug remover(got mine from kragen ~$5). Spray and wait, spray and wait then use a soft cloth(sock) to rub the adhesive off. After all is done I just used the wax I had laying around, but you can get a clay bar or something like that to rub over the area where the emblems where rub that off and wax. Once the damm things are off its your choice how a nal you want to get about it.

Before you take em off, get a blow dryer and heat it up to get it off a little bit easier..heat will usually get most of it off. I had some small superficial scratches after my buddy and I took the emblem off. But that was nothing that some rubbing compound and hand glaze couldn't fix.

wd40 will work to get the goo off, just sopray and let it sit for 10-20min

wd40 also gets gum off of crap =D

(watch that video, its good info)

no, it will be fine, no worres... unless something funky happends like godfarts on ur car and heats up the paint and makes the wd40 burst into flames and burn ur car then lights ur house on fire, then a rat thats on fire run out and freaks out a donky and it poos on ur lawn...

I tried wd-40 at first, but it was taking to long and required to much rubbing. Tar & Bug remover worked ten times faster.
