Removing dealership logo/decal goo

[bosco1]

Hey guys picked up a used C7 and wouldn't you know it they slapped on their dealership decal on the rear fascia before she left. I got the thick decal removed but there is still lots of glue/goo left from it. What's the best approach in removing this? It's C7 so fiberglass car. Didn't get a pic before I left for work..

Here was the decal before removing..

Yep. Goo Gone. You're lucky!  Mine was a METAL dealership badge on my C6!

Goo gone makes an automotive formula. I got mine at auto zone. It worked very well for me on my jeep.

Goo gone and let it sit and soak. I like to use my thumb to pull it up. No need to ruin a MF towel and plastic razor blades tend to do too much damage IMO.

Can't believe nobody recommended Goo Gone, that stuff is great

Goo Gone or Adam's APC with a Clay Bar is what I use. I will also warm up the area first with a hair dryer, just don't get the paint too hot as you don't want to burn it. C7 clear coat seems more soft to me than the hard clear coats of C5 and C6 Corvettes.

 

I also agree on the comment that plastic razor blades can still scuff up soft clear coat. I use them when removing all of the rally decals from my vehicles and always end up machine polishing those areas afterwards.

This one was none like I have seen. Thick 3D plastic. It was definitely on there....

I have used a product called Xenit. It removes adhesive really well, will remove tar, grease also. The only drawback is that it will remove all wax, Polish, glaze, and anything else but doesn't hurt clear coat. If used, definitely have to relax/polish/seal the area.

Liked mentioned 1000 times  Goo Gone.....or 3M Adhesive remover.....If you use a hair dryer sometimes it won't leave much residue on your paint.

Turtle Wax also makes an adhesive removed that is very effective.

WD-40 works.

When I bought my current Vette, it was the first one I ever bought off the lot and it was already on there. Plus I took the car home within 4 hours of first seeing it. Otherwise, I would have had them remove it before taking it.  All my other cars, I tell them flat out NOT to put one on.  Fortunately, my son in law just stuck his fingernail underneath an edge and it just popped off with no damage to the paint.  I got lucky!

I've used this with much success on auto glass (windshields)

Had some Goo Gone but this adhesive crap was stubborn. Didn't do much to it. Ended up using a piece of claybar and detail spray and this did the trick.

I don't think anyone has mentioned using Goo Gone!
