If it's just a little residue Goo Gone or Stoners Tarminator works. If it's more than just residue (like the badge just pulled off and left all the glue behind) you can heat the adhesive up with a hair dryer then roll most of it off with your fingertips. Follow that up with some Goo Gone and you're good to go.

Personally I don't recommend the hair dryer idea. It burns the outta your fingers. I was able to just rub most of mine off with my thumb (minor blister). Just don't try to scrape on it with anything, you'll scratch it up.
