Post Removing emblem residue

When I bought my car it came with the dealership badge on it and of course without thinking much I just pulled it off. Now Im left with a couple inch long white foam stuff that was left behind. So if anyone knows a easy, safe, and painless way of getting it off, please let me know!! Thanks

You should wax it too when you're done, just because it's freshly exposed.

mineral spirits on a rag dab a little on the rag rub on the foam and it will loosen the adhesive wipe off with clean towel repeat as necessary till gone have done this many times with out any damage to the paint just don't get carried away with it

at work we use a pressure washer, then some goo gone to get the left over residue. I HATE those thick dealer badges, the vinyl ones are much better.

Get a hair dryer, keep the heat on it, then take nylon fishing line and slowly slide it back and forth behind the foam (Easier if the badge is still attached), once you got it off. Use automotive safe goo gone (no citric acid base is what to look for). Then make sure to wax the crap out of it.

you can use gasoline if you already have some, no matter what you use you should wash the area afterwards and wax the area like said above.
