de-badging

The last vehicle I debaged was my 98 1500WT. Bought brand new and less then 3 weeks off the lot. A hair dryer worked great. Even on the big Chevrolet decal across the tailgate. All you need is to get on corner started. You may want to use a glove on one hand. The badges get a little warm. Was actually able to get the big Chevrolet tailgate decal off in one whole piece. If you plan on trying to save it, keep the heat moving or it will wrinkle and could burn a whole right through it.
Older vehicles won`t be as easy but still may work. Alcohol to clean the residue.
I know they they also make a rubbing compound for clear coat. May help for any little stubborn spots or any marring of the surface during removal.

My other vehicle is a Dodge Neon SRT4 and debadging was one of the first things I did. A friend of mine had this thing that was like a big pencil eraser shaped like a hockey puck. It is made by 3m and called an eraser wheel. It attached to a drill/rotary tool and you just "erase" the glue off the car. It doesn't hurt the paint at all. Made it for a very quick and easy job.
