lacquer thinner, acetone, mineral spirits, goo gone.. and yes even brake cleaner.. will not hurt your clearcoat. Just be sure you use a soft cloth to wipe with.. a rough rag or paper towel or something like that could scratch your paint.. then wash and wax the area.. done!

Use WD40. Dab it on the glue and let it sit for a few seconds. It will make the glue super soft and will wipe right off. It works great

I use the edge of my thumb.

Won't scratch paint and if you roll it right, there will be little to no adhesive left on the car at all. The dirty outline can be cleaned with glass cleaner or denatured alcohol.

Yes you may get a blister but this method works and won't harm the paint.

Plus one, I use my thumb and a dab of goo-gone for the remaining outline, then nu-finish Polish over the area and can't even tell.

Use fishing string to cut of badge, use a hair dryer and get the sticky stuff hot and peel away double tape using your finger. Just push it and it will peel right up. Next their will be little amounts of tape left so use oops or goo gone. BEST WAY PEEIOD
