    fingers work for me, and a bit of help from a thin teflon squeequee.
    (gentle warm from a hot air gun) some recommend fishing line, never tried it though

    I’ve always removed badges with hot water and a section of fishing line on the older cars, most new badges come off with a bit of hot air and fingernails

    I’m with Steve. heat gun and fishing line.

    If you heat them and bend them the plastic can become distorted. Fishing line leaves them nice and you get a lot of the adhesive off the badges if you have to stick them back on.

    use a body-shop filler spreader, like a squeegee but with sharper edges, also good at getting glue off too

    Fishing wire…D’oh!!! What a frigging good idea.

    I’ve always used a pick from Snap on to lift the edges. A bit of wire would work so much better :lol1:

    I’ve learned something – Thanks
