Removing badge goo?
 
I de-badged my Cobalt about a month and a half ago. Everything came off pretty easily and cleaned up nicely, except for the bow-tie on the trunk. I've had a good chunk of the goo stuck on there since then. It's survived heavy soaping, goo-gone, WD40 and a power-ball waxing.

Any suggestions as to how I get it off?

Fingernail. Seriously. And I mean that as in for realz, not the smart a$$ version of seriously. Pull it in someplace warm, use a heat gun if you have one and rub it off using a combo of your finger and fingernail.

If this doesn't work, you have a problem.

I de-badged last week in the cold, well not-so-cold MI air. Blow dryers help A LOT. So does alcohol and an ice scraper.

I held the blow dryer on the black shit and scraped it. It took about 5-7 min. Most of the black shit didn't stick to the emblem, so I had to scrape little-by-little. Just scrape and alk. Repeat. Wash & wax when you're done.

Pre kleano is what i used. This might take off the wax but just rewax it afterwards.

I had to rub mine off with the skin of my finger. Burned like hell but it worked perfectly. I also had to do that when I removed the door molding on my old LT sedan. Talk about pain. Glue remover didn't really help with the heavy foam.

For me it took (Finger nail) + (a good 20 minutes of picking) + (Turtle Wax 'Bug and Tar' Remover) = Profit

I used rubbing alcohol

There isn't really an easy way to get it off. All you can really do is heat it and peal it off the best you can.
