goo gone should work. maybe you're not letting it sit long enought, OR you're letting it sit too long.

heat it up with a blow dryer, i mean real hot almost burning you fingers, then it should peel off. then use 3M all purpose adhesive remover on a rag. let it sit about 30 seconds and wipe off. repeat if necessary

Try heating the glue with a hairdryer and then using the goo gone as well. '


I've heard WD-40 can also safely take stuff off paint.

i debadged yesterday,
and the bowtie is a BIG BIT*h to get off, i used fishing linem but no luck, so i yank'd it off, but I got all that plastic adhesiveness off by pulling it off, then goo gone, and spray detail wax,
haha, i got creative too,
my car says only "bolt" not......i really wanna position a siliva emblem on there, lookin all sexy-like.

Just make sure you use a soft cloth, unless you like swirl marks. My buddy did his with a dish cloth and it ended up messing his paint up.

Brake cleaner works awesome, its just bad for your paint if it sits so you have to make sure you clean the area with some soap and water after.

is you go to a parts store that has auto body supplies they make something called a stripe eraser, You put it on a drill and it takes off all the gles in a few sec's and it doesnt wreck the paint or your fingers
