Lightbulb best way to debadge?

noob question??

what are some good ways to go about doing this i want a very clean look...
so i'm thinking about taking everything of the rear. I now live in Miami so i'm pretty much waiting for one of those really hot days to help make it a little easier. but any suggestions on what to use to take off lettering and glue would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

I used a blow dryer and floss . I heated the badge for about a minute and gently pulled the floss in between the car and the lettters. Then after with my thumb i smeared off the rest and if there was anything left I sprayed some tar and bug remover or goo remover and gently rubbed it off with a soft cloth.

Then don't forget to wax/Zaino/whatever...

I did the same thing w/o the floss. hair dryer+some wiggling got them off. goo gone cleaned up the glue. Einzsett quick detailer cleaned it up. Einszett wax finished it off. Then I wax the whole car to match

when I rebadged my g20 to a nissan primera I used dental floss and warm water to take off the infiniti emblems, it worked good. But I rebadged my g20 back to a infiniti a few days later. haha.

The debadging process is pretty easy. All you really need is a hairdryer, Goo-Gone, and dental floss.

I just took off the G35. I was thinking about taking off the INFINITI also but i thought it looked great with the letters on still.
