No need for any type of dryers. In fact stay away from any heat source as you may not know the output of heat and you can do damage to the clear coat if sitting in one spot too long.
Take an old credit card and insert it between your trunklid and letter pressing against the letter.
In a rocking motion simply keep pushing and rocking the card cutting thru the adhesive.
Once your badges are off, save them!
You'll have adhesive left on your car so carefully take your fingernail and take off what you can.
Take some un-leaded gasoline and rub off the rest.
Wash that part of your vehicle with car soap.
Take some Scrach X on a soft cloth and vigorously rub the spot where your emblems were. Viola!
I'm waiting for the dumbass that says gasoline can damage clearcoat. Gasoline is a wonderful degreaser...even pleasant smelling too (to some) lol

i just did mine yesterday for like 10 minutes. I used the floss to take out the emblems, then use the Alcohol to clean it up a bit, and i use my nail ( yes my finder nail LOL) to peel out the blacky stuff, and the last part is wax it, and polish it.

floss and Goo Gone here. Make sure you keep rolling your micro-fiber towel to prevent a build up of adhesive on the towel.
