I have heard the best way is to use a hair dryer.. that way you won't pull any paint off.. then just clean the remaining glue off...

with fishing line in a sawing action held taught against the badge will slice the double sided tape and/or sikaflex
Then prepsol to sofhten the residue, just wax after you are done to combat the prepsol

I took mine off by using the hair dryer method - poured water into the back of the badge (where the tape is) and let it bed in for a minute, then smashed the crap out of it with a hair dryer! Nah, turned the hair dryer on, and heated the back of the badge evenly, while not holding it too close to the paint. With a bit of wriggling of the badge, it will eventually come free but i found it took a while, with the 'XR' badge on the boot taking AGES! I then used some of that 'orange' guck removing stuff you can get from Coles or wherever, and a warm wet cloth, and about 15 minutes of elbow grease per badge.
You can also use fishing line, and i used whipper snipper cord on one of them, which pulled the badge off in seconds, but this method left virtually ALL of the backing glue on the metal (whereas the hairdryer left virtually nothing) and took freaking ages to remove. I recommend the hairdryer method. |

Hairdryer is the best method. Start to heat up the badge. Once its warm keep the dryer going and start to wiggle the badge. Eventually the glue gives and you can pull the badge off. To clean it, use Metho. I did this, never damaged the paint and cleaned off all the glue. All i did then was apply some polish to the paint where the badge was and that was it.
Pretty easy

I used the hairdryer method to pull the "5 Litre V8" badges off the front guards. Works a treat. Clean the leftover glue off with prepsol ,then Scratch X and a wax. You'd never know they were there.

and you won't regret the clean look, i found it made the spoiler have far better definition. I still have to remove the side skirt badges, too lazy though :(
The 'F' from 'F A L C O N' fell off my ba when i had it, i should have de-badged that one at that point ;p Whereas the 'F A L C O N' badging that used to be on the bf looked like it had been put on by someone with their head tilted 43degs to the left and guzzling chardonay |

I used boiling water to remove all mine, just pour it over the badge, then gently wriggle it off. Probably just as effective as the hair dryer, maybe less chance of damaging the paint??
While the glue is still soft it seems to peel off relatively easily, but eucalyptis oil works a treat for the more stubborn bits. |

I use the hairdryer and dental floss method. Heat up with hairdryer and then cut through with dental floss. The dental floss is pretty fine and seems to cut well

Why do you want to take the badge off? It must be a commodore? Or a daihatsu with a VS body kit.... lol
