removal of rear end badge ?

Iam about to give my 330e a ceramic coating but i want to remove the rear end badge, before applaying the ceramic coating for a better result.

my question is what are the best way t get rid of it without risking damage to the paint?

i was thinking heat gun on lowest setting, but that could still do some dmg if i spend a few sec to long.

any advice would be lovely

Hair dryer/heat gun and dental floss/fishing line. That's the best and easiest way.

+1 for the hair dryer and floss/fishing line. 70% isopropyl alcohol helps to clean up and residual adhesive.

A little bit of heat, if car is new they come off easily probably without fishing line, then i simply used tar remover to remove bits my fingers couldn't rub off
10 min job
