Tips for removing side and bow tie badges?

Recently picked up white 2018 ss 1le and I’m not liking the side and rear badges. Any good tips for the removal?

Get some 3M adhesive remover. Spray it down and work some dental floss under the badge from one side to the other, periodically respraying with adhesive remover. Clean up the remaining adhesive with the adhesive remover and a microfiber cloth. It takes a bit of time, but isn't that difficult.

Fishing line will work too and is stronger than floss

When you are done there should be no evidence the badge was ever there. If you can still see the outline, take some type of polish like Meguiar's 205 to it.

You will have to re-wax the area you took the emblem off and wherever the adhesive remover ran down because it removes the wax as well.

heat, 20lb fishing line, and goo gone for automotive. There is too types of goo gone. Dont pull it off because if the corners touch the paint it might chip the paint. Do not use a pry tool. way too much of a chance of scratching the paint. This is what happens when my dealer gave my new $50k car to a 16 year old kid to put the black bow ties on.
