Fishing line, about 14lb. Wrap around fingers and use it in a sawing fasion to cut the letters off. May want to wear gloves.

Then use Oops, goof off or something like that to remvoe the gummy glue.

Then use a light compound to polish and finish with some wax.

If I was going to debadge I'd do what 94rt10ohio said, it's kinda like flossing yer teeth, and add Goo Gone to the list of glue remover.

I like my Dodge and Hemi badges though.

I don't use wax anymore the Florida sun melts it right off. I use Liquid Glass now.

I am with you, I like mine to, on my Hemi. I just pulled all of them off my SRT though. Some will go back on later, but not all of them.

Do it right...use a hair dryer on the emblem to soften the adhesive, then use dental floss to remove the emblem. After all emblems are gone, use adhesive remover and soap and water to remove residue. After all remnants are gone, apply fresh wax.
