It's really easy I used goo gone and crest glide dental floss because it's flat and not round, some detail spray and microfibre cloth

I soaked the emblem for 2 mins and wiped up the excess, then I just worked each piece and it came off pretty easy, but it left some adhesive behind that came off with more goo gone. After I sprayed with quick detail and wiped.

I did mine in the summer so the adhesive might have been eaisier to remove, but I know some people put a blow drier to it to heat the adhesive up for easier removal.

Yeah, I know how to do it...problem is I suck at removing the residue that's left behind. I've tried the goo goo gone route before and wasn't happy with my work.

I can help where are you.

Use distilled alcohol on a rag (the distilled kind you get in a big can) and just keep dipping. took me about 30 minutes of patience.

That's the worst...I had to do that to my trunk and roof spoiler off the E90, took forever and I ended up taking it to a detail shop anyway to get the residue that I just couldn't get out.

do a quick polish after ward unless you use something sharp to remove it nothing bad can come out of this
