Default De-Badging (How do I do this?)

I want to take the subaru badge off the back of my car and the WRX logo/sticker on the left of the back.

Does anyone know of anywhere that would do a good job of this? Or how I could go about it, without marks being left?

Thanks heaps,
Neen

Use a hair dryer to heat up the badges and then use dental floss or fishing line to pull them off.

Not sure on the stickers but I think eucalyptus oil can take them off? Do a search .. This was covered in the past few days

Eucalyptus oil, buy it from a supermarket in the first aid section, works a charm (did it 2 days ago) and does nothing to ur paintwork but just to be certain wash the car afterwards, and everything josh said is correct

i tried this on my old rex thinking it'd just peel off.
but the aging of the sticker meant it was coming off in tiny little 1mm bits.
i gave up after going in about 1cm to a corner, before it looked too ugly.
maybe yours will be different!
either way, eucalyptus oil is your friend for removing the residue..

ok i got some string and put it behind each letter and pulled side to side and came off in about 2 secs.. i took the whole subaru off and the awd i left the wrx though balances out the boot with the key lock

i just used some metho and heat gun few different things then polish to clean it all up.
