Going on 24 hours of using the bleach method. Doing both front and rears. Note to anyone taking off their rear emblem in near freezing temperature. Pour some very hot water over it numerous times before trying the "fishing line" method. I didn't, and ended up having to use pliers to get it off, put a couple scratches/dings on it, but hoping that after sanding and paint that it won't matter.
As far as the front emblem, man what a b**** getting to those clips. Almost all of my fingers are scratched up, and I only have 2 clips left in-tact so I bought some 3M tape for when I put it back on.
The bleach seems to be doing a good job, at this point the bleach is completely black, from what OP said I guess it's normal. I've noticed the front emblems chrome is coming off much faster than the rears, anyway, can't wait for the finished product. I might get impatient tonight and just try sanding the rest....we'll see.
