Removing Lettering From Vehicles

With most vehicles there is lettering glued on the car which usually
has the brand and model. Does anyone know the best way to remove it
without messing up the vehicle?

Use a heat gun to heat up the adhesive and it should peel off. So they
say; I've never done it myself.

I've also heard of people using a piece of fishing line, held tight
between your two hands, to "saw" off the emblem, then using a solvent,
like Goof-Off, to remove the residue.

Use Dental floss to cut the adhesive bond

Heat it (a good hairdryer usually works) & carefully pull it off or pry it
off with something plastic (a metal screwdriver will scratch the paint).
If there's glue residue or some of the tape left, you can get spray cans
of chemical remover or buy an erasor that goes in a drill. Neither will
damage the paint if done right.
BTW make sure there are no nuts on the back before you get carried away!
