i used an eraser wheel, worked great. my badges were on the truck for 6 years before being taken off.

after using the eraser wheel i waxed the truck, looked great.

You can get them at a lot of places, Google 3M Eraser Wheel and look at shopping results, may be able to find one near by.

Can you use a heat gun to heat it up then use fishing line or dental floss for a clean removal?

I was thinking about useing a hair dryer but thought it wouldnt get hot enough. I have used heat guns to remove pin stripping before paint, didnt take but a few minutes. The eraser wheel method looks like it will take a little while.

goo gone works fine, just soak it REALLY good so the back sticky gets wet and it will come off easy. Then wash it really good..
