3M Adhesive Remover does the trick. Just ALOT of work. havelots of towels and patience!

Piece of nylon fishing line, move it back and forth while trying to pull through the emblem. When it is off then go back with a solvent cleaner as mentioned above...

Good Luck

Yup. Both of the above and some heat and it should come right off. DO NOT be in a hurry when doing this!

Heat it with a hairdryer first and then use the fishing line. Follow up with 3M adhesive remover and then re-wax the area.

I might add that it's easiest to do when the car is brand new. The embalems on my brother's 06 Scion Xb came right off with just a hairdryer and my fingers, left no adhesive. The little GM gimmick badges on my mother's 06 Vette just required my 90 degree pick and they came right off (one now resides on the tailgate of the Blazer).

The hardest thing in the world to remove are decal style pinstripes. Ugh, especially after they are a few years old. It's damn near impossible.

But i have another question along the side of the car there is like a trim type thing that is black and has chrome in the middle of it i was wondering if i could replace that with an all black one or if it comes off or what and also the same thing i have a chrome trim around the wheel well that i dont really like and was wondering if i could take it off too or what? Anyone know?

Is there any way you can remove the rubber molding and leave just the chrome pieces.. I happen to like the chrome piece just not the rubber molding
