get a can of 3m bug and tar remover thats what I used and it can off real easy. You should be able to get it at a local auto parts store..

Must have been cold there!
Hotter it is, more adhesive comes off with the emblem. It was over 85 deg SoCal heat when mine came off. I used WD-40 on a soft cotton rag to remove the residue. It cuts road tar and emblem adhesive.
Disclaimer: Try it on a non conspicuous place first, YMMV. It did OK, mines PW.

i did mine at nite in about 40* w/ a hair dryer and floss, i removed the emblem ok, but left all the glue on as well. i got some all purpose solvent from work from the detail guys. w/ some heat it came off pretty good w/ a lil ghosting. immediatly follow w/ wax. the ghostin went away after a few washings and some more waxin that area.
the solvent also worked extremely well on window tint glue in conjuntion w/ a razor blade. it took me a total for 1 hour to remove the film and glue on both from windows

i used this real cheap sponge i got from pep boys, in a towel pack
ithas a mesh around the sponge,
rubbed, a little elbow grease, came right off, then i just re-waxed the area and now its clean,
wouldnt think something so cheap would do such a good job
