Emblem Removal
Hey I was just wondering if anybody had a good idea on how to safely remove a dealership emblem from your car without damaging the paint?

Oneway is to heat it up with a hair dryer then use dental floss behind the emblem. Work the dental floss the same way that you would clean your teeth. Then use some Goo Gone to remove the sticky residue.

Came right off. then used some GooGone to take the crud off.
