emblem glue

This may not be as serious a problem as others but, if someone could give me some kind of home remedy for getting the glue off after removing the WRX emblem. Tried water and WD-40 and I'm running out of elbow grease. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

Laquer paint remover does the trick, heat first then laquer remover. It doesn't f' up the clear coat either.

Good Luck

sand paper,:banana: no you could use a heat gun, gasoline sometimes works with adhesives.

3M makes some adhesive remover that worked pretty good when i removed my trunk badge. just make sure to wash and wax the area when your done.

when i did the headlight paint mod and i was taking it apart i got so much glue on the lense. and i stuck. and i soaked in hot water/soapy for 10 minnutes and rubbed lightly with a sponge and it came right out. no elbow grease needed

heat works well on the foam, just a hair dryer will do. then I found that alcohol works well on the glue...

lots of stuff will work. first use a fishing line to take off emblem or credit card. then just rub remaining glue off with goo gone/glue off. and wax the area off and viola!
