You could also just use a heat gun, warm it up and it will rub off. Ive also seen people use a rotary tool with a soft foam pad to remove it after heating it up. Just some more alternative methods

i just used bug/tar remover, a flat blade with some ductape on the edge so i wouldnt scratch and a small peice of wood for the last remaining parts. Left no scratches, came off clean, just hadda use a bit of elbow grease.

WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T USE SANDPAPER!
Yeah, I did it back when I was retarded. So I put my emblems back on and it looks just like stock. Goo Gone is the ****. -------------------- |

goof off worked wonders for me, just dont leave it on too long. I would not recomend a blade because you can scratch your car easy with it unless your very use ot using em. dawn liquid dish soap also works but requires a bit more hand scrubing
