Anyone have a good way to remove insignias without damaging the paint? I’ve tried using dental floss to cut at the adhesive, but it is getting nowhere fast. ---

Use a hairdryer to heat up the adhesive, then use fishing line like you use dental floss and keep heating it. Then once it the badging is off, you have to use goo-gone or some type of soap to remove the remaining adhesive. ---
