heat gun or hair dryer. Remove the residue with careful rubbing withan adhesive remover and fingernails, and then some wax/polishing compund makes it new again.

Yep, if you use a heat gun though, be careful not to get the paint too hot, as excessive heat will damage it. Also, it's possible that the paint under the glue and emblem may be a different shade due to age of the paint and paint care and stuff...just something to think about so you're not shocked once the emblems are off. wink.gif

hair dryer & bug & tar remover.

Also, the paint underneath is alot cleaner and not faded, so you gotta deal with that.

as far as I know wd40 is a solvent. it might take off the glue but its also removing some paint
