ive always used a heat gun to heat up the adhesive and then when u get it off u use 3m adhesive remover, works great, well at least for me.

true heat gun, then, run dental floss behind it and pull it through, itll separate it easier.
good luck

I remove a lot of badging for my graphics company and I use a heat gun and pry them off with a piece of plastic. You can get a $15 rubber wheel that fits a cordless screw gun. Pull the trigger and the thick adhesive comes off like using a pencil eraser! Wash with soap and water.

i went to a hard ware store and got a plastic putty knife and cleaned the residue off with brake parts cleaner. it dosnt sound as (professional) as the other options but if you dont have a heat gun it works
