How do I remove emblems?

I want to remove the emblems and lettering off my nissan maxima and don't even know where to start. I can't think of a way without using something to pry the letters off and I obviously don't want to damage the car. Is there any trick to doing this?

Re: How do I remove emblems?

Nevermind. I just found the answer in a 2004 thread under body kits. If you were curious how to do it, just put a hairdryer to loosen the adhesive then use floss to separate the logo from the car. Just clean the rest of the adhesive with goo gone or rubbing alcohol.
If I remember, i'll post how well it worked

But remember that will also eat your paint so you want to make sure that it is gone

Re: How do I remove emblems?

household hair dryer and floss always worked for me...

then there aren't any chemicals to worry about. don't use a full game heat gun, you melt body panels aor ripple the paint

Re: How do I remove emblems?

Can I just rub the rest of the adhesive off? Bug n Tar remover should work, right?
