    Hair dryer, but don't get too close to paint or for too long, get the adhesive warm, take fishing line and saw behind the emblem until you get it off. Takes about ten minutes.

    Spray them with WD-40, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe off with a paper towel.

    No. I thought that might be the case but I thought you were more mentally together than that.

    Use a toothpick to cut the part on the letters away from the part on the paint while your peeling

    I plastidipped mine on the truck and removed the ones i did not want with dental floss and goo gone. Then wash with soap and apply new wax to the area
