Nervous emblems

I have TL and SH AWD emblems on the back of my car what is the easiest way for taking them off im a little nervous thinkin it might mess up the clear coat and paint on the car any suggestions.

Heat gun or hair dryer. Then peel off. I used a piece of dental floss to get one off, since the backing was sticking.

I then used goo gone to remove excess off paint. Followed by clay bar and wax to general area.

Use extreme caution if using a heat gun though. Too hot and too close could damage the paint.

I used hot water because i didnt have a outlet for a heat gun or hairdryer. Flossed it right off and used goo gone for the left over glue.

Heat gun really isn't necessary, just park in the sun to let the emblems "loosen up" then use dental floss. WD40 works very well to remove the remaining adhesive if you don't have GooGone.

The 2013 models I believe only have Big A in the mddle for Acura of course and TL off to the right and down below on the right too is SH AWD I have 3 emblems only the 2012 and below have all that plus it says acura on the left side.

Goo gone, fishing line and a hair blow dryer are the items I used.
Just take it slow and let the goo gone set in and let it do most of the work. It will take some time but have patience.

You might end up with some ghosting in which case have some polish ready to clean it off.
