you can remove most badges with a credit card. Very carefully seperate the emblem from the paint, and then use any paint-safe solvent in small amount to get the remainder of the glue stick-um off. Goo-gone and similar products are sometimes ok in very small quanitites. I would stay away from razor blades as it is very easy to damage the paint when using them.

You can also use floss and floss it off. You should try floss first to get it somewhat loose then use the credit card.

I heard to remove the H emblem, there is a nut and I know when you remove it there is going to be a hole there.

theres no nut there. but there will be holes. the front one has a metal clip that clips it on.. takes a lil bit to pop off rear ones just have 2 holes with like 3m double sided tape to hold it in place. credit card and some goo gone to clean it up. works perfect... goo gone would probaly be a better way to take it off than using claybar.

spray wd40 and let it sit for a few minutes, then a credit card would easily slide it off

Before you do any of this, here is the method by body shops all over the world.

GENTLY heat the badge with a hair dryer/heat gun.
take a credit card and slide between the badge and bodywork.
badge off (no paint damage)

let panel cool down and glue harden
then use what we call in the UK a toffee wheel to remove glue (it is a round thick orange disk to remove glue and coachlines/pinstripes from body panels and smeels like toffee/candy when you use it cost about £3/$2).

then wipe claen with a paint prep wipe NOT paint thinners.

then to fix the holes.

use some metal glue and stick a small coin/piece of metal on the inside of the hole.
then on the outside put a strip of masking tape over the holes and cust out the bage hole with a stanly blade.
mix up a small amount of body filler and smoth into the holes.

just a filler starts to go hard (cures) use the stanly blade to level the filler so that it is flush with the panel.

allow to harden then apply touch up paint to holes with a small modeling paint brush and romove masking tape.

job done

You can you a hair drier as well. But if you have an apartment like me then you'd have to carry a line from your apartment to your car down the sidewalk.

And to get off glue use a rag and very little paint thinner. should come right off. Only do this if you've waxed your car within the last 8 months or there is a possibility your paint would fade. but only if you drenched the rag.
