its fairly easy. Just heat up the badge with the heating gun, then use the dental floss to peel the badge from behind, then use the goo gone spray bottle on the excess glue that's on the car and let it sit for a couple mines then you start peeling the sticker off. once you get everything off, then you can use the car buffer with some wax.
there's pictures that illustrates how its done

pretty much the same way. it's best when you do it on a hot day and a heating gun/blow dryer to loosen up the glue, then use the dental floss the take off the badges.
goo gone never really worked perfectly for me, I had to use wax wash liquid or that 3M adhesive remover to get all the stickiness off (just make sure you don't get the liquid on your tailights... or parts that can get stained).
after there was some ghosting, buffers are great if you can get access to one, for a regular person you can buy the Meguiars Scratch X 2.0 from any store and with some elbow grease, it'll come right out.

3M remover and some floss...
Depends. The ones that have an adhesive on the back can be removed with a heat gun. Like letters.
The ones that are clipped on to the body via some kind of connecting plug can be removed but will leave behind two holes. The badge has two pins on the back that connect to a rubber grommet and the grommet is locked to the sheet metal so the badge doesn't fall out. Covering these holes will require bondo and paint. A big hassle and its expensive. Usually, the rear company badge is like this, e.g. Hondas.
