I've seen so much debadging over the last decade I decided to be original (at least fro the enthusiasts crowd) and leave them on after the dealer replaced my original badge under warranty. I did get rid of the Flex Fuel badge since it was a bit too much.

I just pulled it off and used some goo gone. Not heat, no floss, just my hands.

I used a hair dryer, as I don't have a heat gun. Heck, my badges were practically coming off during a heat wave to begin with! Here's a before/after comparo-shot. No Focus badge, no SE badge, no dealer license plate frame (ick! I liked my dealer well enough, but sorry, no free advertising for you!). All that's left is a nice and clean look.
