use fishing line to wedge under the badges.. pull back to raise the edge enough to grip with your fingers.
Use hands to pull the rest off. (being sure to spy underneath for any faded paint/clearcoat overspray, etc, that you may not could hide, if uncovered..)

If there is anything that you don't like underneath, put it back on, unless you plan on repainting anyway.

if not, pull it off, slowly.

Use GooGone, or WD40, etc, to loosen the leftover gunk and rub it off with a wrag-wrapped finger.

Be forewarned, the appearance of blisters is common, and mostly unavoidable.

The same steps apply for the door ding strips..

easiest way is to do this when its arm outside, or heat them up with a blowdryer. then squirt GooGone on them and let it soak in. Then use fishing line or a credit card to wedge the badge off. Pull the rest off my hand. Paper towels and GooGone can be used to get the rest off. Make sure you re-wax or polish the area after you're done because GooGone takes off that protective coat.

Take them off. While your at it pop out the Ford emblem and get one of Nyceboi's emblems.

They look so much better without the Badges.. They are easy to remove.... I used my Finger nails.... But you can ust a Fishing String and WD 40 Worked good for the Adhesive or you could use Meguiars 3 Step Cleaning wax system.
