I used a 3M product, if I remember right. Some sort of glue remover that was safe for paint. Soak that stuff on for 10-30 sec., then use fishing line & saw through the glue. Use the remover stuff on a rag to get the rest off. Clean off with water, polish & wax!

I've used the 3M stuff before works really good should beable to find it at a automotive paint store or if your cheap you could use the old trusted WD40 and elbow grease if you have no fishing line use a couple strands of dental floss.
3M Adhesive and wax remover. I used it works great! I'd say after you use the fishing line to remove the emblem, spray on more 3M adhesive remover on to the left over sticky stuff, let sit for a 5 - 10 min then take off the sticky stuff that is left on the car.

emblem removal
Yeah bro...make sure you heat up the emblems with a blow dryer and pop them off with some dental floss when they are hot to the touch. Then use Goo-Gone to finish it off. After that I highly suggest waxing the area. If you have any questions I have pics of how mine turned out.

I used some dental floss but it kept breaking like on every letter, I think a fishing line would work better. Then rub the rest of the goop up with charcoal lighter fluid on a rag. stuff is good on stickers. Then finish it off with some car polish. Oh, smoking may be hazardous.
Waxed dental floss (does break alot though) and Finish Line Degreaser. It can be found at most mountain bike/bike shops. After removing emblems, just rub and soak gunk and it just rolls off.
