Some people also report good results by using fishing line. I do NOT heat up the glue, that just makes a mess. Do this when it's warm out but don't add any heat. I used to use a hair dryer but I found just working the adhesive at room temp was much easier. After the badge is off I peel off as much of the adhesive as I can by hand, then I use Goo Gone to remove the rest, then I use water to clean the area, and finally I spot wax the area.
Here in Germany you can order your car without badging as a no-cost option. I wish that were the case in the US. I've debadged every nice car I've owned.

Thanks for advice. At least I know it's only a strong glue under the badge.
