If this has already been addressed, I am sorry. New to the forum. If it has, please show me the link?

Thanks!

Default I think he's refering to the actual dealer badge, like "Jim Ellis Audi" or whatever...
I think that just the solvent mentioned below would do the trick...if not, I once saw a pinstripe (same material, roughly) being taken off with some sort of abrasive wheel. Although I <u>strongly</u> suggest the solvent first.

Default Not the metal badges....
He's talking about the vinyl lettering they use for advertising. I'd try heating it with a hair dryer, then use a solvent to remove the adhesive.

Spray it with P21S Total Auto Wash and heat it with a hair dryer.

Default That is bull****. No Audi should have dealership lettering on the paint.
I would make them pay to have a detailer remove it.
