i actually just slowly peeled mine off. then hit it up with some paint polish to take off the left over residue. no painting is needed.

use a hair dryer to heat up the glue and then scrape it off with a credit card........the excess glue can be buffed off

use the hairdryer & dental floss method - a credit card can scratch your paint. Floss is waxed & therefore, will not scratch. Refer to the sticky/FAQ's on this topic.

Nope. Actually I think if you take that one off it looks bad. It will leave a odd gap in ther. Your better leaving it in and not popping it off.

U better leave the front one on unless your going to end up with an empty black spot with 2 holes. its held by the same stuff as the others only it has 2 prongs

mine came out the best because i had an accident, the trunk emblems had to be removed and cleaned off the trunk. The trunk got resprayed and i had no emblems with no marks left
i got 2 maxima emblems and 3 nissan emblems on my desk.

ha ha ha...

So your writeup for debadging would be like

1. Find a main road with fast moving cars.
2. Stop short.
3. Repaint car.

Your right much easier than fishing line or dental floss
