Hot day or heat gun and just catch the edge of the lettering with your finger nail they will come off. Should leave much if any glue. may have some slight dust/dirt where the stickers were

I used a Men's Warehouse membership card to remove the Monte Carlo name plate and SS logo from my trunk. Waxed away the sticky residue. It looks great.

Just be sure to wipe the adhesive away with a soft cloth. Paper towels are a no-no...lol. I know.

A hairdryer would be fine, as would direct sunlight in the summer months. Depending on the emblem that you're removing, just make sure not to pry at it...since the trailing side of the emblem may be sharp and dig into the paint (such as the SS emblem, Bryan).
