I also use dental floss after heating the area with a heat gun for 30 seconds. Once I removed the emblems I then used "cleaner wax" (slightly abarasive wax) to clean up the area. Took me about 15 mins to do the A6 and 3.2 logos.

just ordered the car without the emblems. Simple : )

If you have a 2nd hand car, be careful of removing it as the paint around the emblems may have faded if not cared for properly.

Then rubbed some more adhesive remover on left over residue and scrubbed off with some non-abrasive paper towels I got from pep-boys. Washed and dried, you cant even tell there was ever emblems there.

I am lucky enough to keep the car in a garage so there is little to no sun damage, you might need to use some polish/wax to get the oxidization to blend right....but its a pretty easy project.
2nd -- it may have been dental floss but fishing line works also and yeah any polish will work
