Someone mentioned dental floss in the past but I've not tried this.

I took mine off with dental floss and it worked perfectly. I could reuse them if I wanted but I don't so I won't!

I used this method to debadge my acura last year and worked like a charm. It was a new car though. If yours is old, i'd wonder if the paint underneath emblem (if youre doing the trunk) might be a shade or so darker after years of sun etc on paint?

Its why i was hesitant to do it on my then 7 year old SC with 150k on it.
