3M eraser wheel well worth the money takes off badge super fast. But it is actually made for taking off pin stripes and what not. I highly recomment getting it. took me about 45 min to do badges and molding under the doors

WD-40 works the best. Heat them with the hair dryer then spray them with WD-40 and they should peel right off and leave no residue.
