I saw that post from Eddie44 about the heat gone i did not even suggest it to my friend. I would not have wanted him to mess up his new car!

I used a hairdryer to warm it up, and then dental floss to get under the emblem. Came right off withh little effort. Wiped it with Goof Off, and washed and waxed the spot. NO notice it was ever there!

Thats what I did after I used dental floss between the emblem and car. Used a little NXT after and looks great!
