50lb fishing wire, slip behind emblems and using a sawing motion pull the emblem towards you while moving the wire from one end to another.

You will need thick gloves and will be tired but the result is worth it.IMAG0520_zpscb189ea2.jpg

I have used a different method. Harbor Freight heat gun and some gloves and they'll pull right off. This will leave all the adhesive and some foam tape left behind. Order an Astro Pneumatic eraser wheel and put it in your drill chuck. It gets the adhesive and foam tape off in a hurry. Follow that up with some spray polish and boom, you're shaved clean...

I went to a local body shop and asked them how much to have all the badges removed. They joked about it for a few minutes and told me to get them a case of beer and they would do it. 20 minutes later I was leaving with badges removed and they had their case of beer. I could not have gone and bought all of the things I would have needed to do the job myself for less than that. Figure in the time involved doing the work; I got a pretty good deal.
