hair dryer, remove the sticker, then take the rest off with alcohol...

you probably dont care, but there will be a ____-ton of micro-marring after, polish it out by hand with meguiar's scratchx

You can peel it off, if you put it on a few days ago it shouldnt be on there too bad. Just make sure you dont use anything metal or else it will scrap, once you peel it off you can use 90% alcohol to remove the glue left if there is.

thanks guys I appreciate the advice. I thought the hair dryer applied to the emblems not decals? I think I will run down to a shop that does vinlys and ask them. Detail shop might know also. I was just going to use Acid and a sand blaster by you guy have shown me the light.

If you use a heat gun it can make the adhesive worse, try taking your finger nail and peel up a edge and see how it goes. What ever you do dont use any thing metal or even plastic, after you peel off all the vinyl take some 90% alcohol and wipe the glue residue off. I would wash and wax the car after you wipe it with alcohol. I work at a sign shop doing vehicle graphics and wraps, and we mostly use alcohol because the adhesive removers are more harsh to the surface. The adhesive removers are more for removing old vinyl. Hope this helps you out.

Agreed. Just pick at it with your finger nail, it should come right off.
