Default Remove dealer badge, How?

Just scored a 07' AWD GS350 two days ago. The car has a old dealer badge on the back of trunk lid. What is the best way to remove it without damaging the paint underneath. Thanks in advance for the help.

Heat it up a bit with a hair dryer. Take some dental floss and run it behind the plate. It will take some effort. Then clean off with some WD-40 to get all the gooey bits off. Then hit it with a few coats of wax.

VIOLA!

Round 1



I took off the oem emblems and I just used my hand and they came off with a little effort. If you cant get it by hand the best is to use dental floss or fishing line carefully. Shouldn't be too hard to take off
