0 krea1975 Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 That's safe on the paint? I was worried the would be too harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 2012srt8 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 There's an actual automotive goo gone in a spray bottle. I used it on my wheels to get the stickers that were on my wheels off ocdrifter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chonke Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Another vote for Goo Gone. Ive also heard some people use a heat gun to help ease the adhesive off, but ive never found that necessary. ocdrifter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ocdrifter Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) I like using the 3M stipe off wheel with mandrel, saves the fingers and nails lol. You can find it on Amazon.  Ive included a link and if it's frowned upon please delete  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00063VT0G/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_111?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER Edited July 9, 2017 by ocdrifter Checo and Nathan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 1911A1 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Goo gone and Rapid Remover will both work well.I use Rapid Remover quite a bit at work to remove Vinyl graphics.It is citrus based while the goo gone is a petroleum or solvent base.Neither one will hurt your paint.If there is some double sided tape left after removing the badge try getting a hold of it and gently stretching it while slightly lifting it at the same time .Sometimes it will come off cleanly with very little residue left behind.

0 hemi1300 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Tried goo gone when I removed badges on my dodge ram, worked ok but took a lot of scrubbing. Then used 3m adhesive remover and it worked fantastic to remove the left over adhesive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Black Bowtie Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Also pick up some 12 pound test fishing line and use that like dental floss between the body panel and emblem. Works great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
