Hair Dryer, some fishing line, and then some glue gone is what I heard does the trick..Use the hair dryer to heat up the glue, then the fishing line under the emblems should take them off..And then just clean it all off with glue gone..

then clay bar that area to get most of the build up of dirt then use scratchX (meguires) or any sort of rubbing compound then off with wax or liquid wax which works wonders. ive had my badges on for almost 3years and finally took em off and you could never tell that i had emblems.
NYC weather isnt the best place to keep a max too.

GL and you'll do just fine.

as they said blow dryer and fishing line works great unless your like me and buy an 05 used and someone super glued the x back on then you got to wet sand

I just installed my 07 spoiler and debadge my 05 max . My bodyshop guy gave me some 3m remover just soak them a little for about 15-20 mins and was able to pull off and use a little more 3m remover for the remaining glue.

Oh man you gotta post pics with the '07 spoiler. I love those things. Also you guys happy with the debadging? I've been considering it, only thing is I dont' want to totally trash the badges in case I need to reinstall one day to trade my '06 back in for an '08 Anyone got pics of b4 and after debadging?

I used a hair dryer, dental floss and to remove that old goo stuff, I used Non-Acetone nail polish remover. It worked perfect and does not harm the paint. This is the cheapest way to do it yourself cause all 3 are in any house with a girl. lol

Debadged 07 spoiler pics

Sorry I had trouble with my pc couldn't get on the site. I don't know how to post pics so he is my cadomain link. I had the factory lip spoiler removed it found an old timer welder that welded the aluminum trunk lid for $25 bucks. Then had it repainted . I think it gives the car a tougher look.
