I think you should remove the badge, clean it off and glue it back on yourself. For removal use a hair dryer and dental floss or a fishing string. And get some Goo Gone to get the residue off. I'm not sure what glue is used for badges though.

3M automotive adhesive. You can find it at autoparts stores. Just ask them for emblem adhesive

I spray Goo Gone on it to soften it up then remove it with a razor blade
