   Use a flat head to ping them off, be careful not to snap them, or the little pins that hold them in.

   After you've heated them up they should pull off easy

    Well, you could use a heat gun or hairdryer, I used a flat head and pinged them off, the glue they are also held on by just crumbled on both my cars. I then used Super Glue to glue them back on

    I used an old card for 10 minutes without heating them up. just gently slid it behind the badges. using a screwdriver may damage the paint around it if you're not careful

    No it is not when every household has a kettle and credit card
    Taking a screwdriver to the paintwork would bring hours of stress , pain and nausea to any hardcore detailer
