1
Heat up the badges for a few minutes by using your heat gun or hair dryer, holding the heat source about two inches away from the badges. Try to avoid holding the heat source too close to the paint as you can risk bubbling the paint up.

2
Slide the dental floss or fishing line behind the badge and slide it down. Move it down slowly and work your way down. If you find you are encountering resistance, heat the badge area again for a few more minutes.

Apply some rubbing alcohol to the area using your cotton terry towel to remove the remnant adhesive film that may still be on the body panel of your car.

Spray the soapy water on to the area where the badge was once applied and rub it clean using your towel.

Spray the water on to the body panel to rinse off the area and then dry it using the cotton towel. Repeat the procedure for any other badges you want to remove from your car.
