Robbie,
Try this trick--it worked for me and the paint was NOT damaged.

Use a regular hair dryer--I set it on high but you might want to set it on low.
This secret only works if the emblem is glued on.
Aim the hair dryer at the emblem and let it get fairly hot. This causes
the glue under it to become like a sticky liquid.
The emblem will fall off or you can easily remove it--don't jerk it. If
the glue is hard to remove--just heat it up until it becomes like a liquid
and wipe it off.
This secret worked for me--I think I learned about it from a magazine
called Popular Mechanics.

Re: Removing Emblems
 
Thanks everyone who replied. I used some dental floss and a hair dryer to
get it off. The dealer logo was pretty much just a piece of rubber with
glue on it and it came off just by heating it up. As for the Civic logo it
was something similar to double sided tape. I had to use the floss on it to
saw it off. Afterwards I used some Goo Gone and WD40 to get the residue
off. About to go finish washing and wax over it since I'm sure it stripped
all the wax off.

Thanks everyone,
Robbie Caldwell

Good Work! Now that they are off, you need a nice plate frame. I found
one at "Bob's Honda" in PA. They sent me some stickers and a frame for
my Honda. bob
