Need To Take Off The Adhesive
What product do I need to help me take off the rest of the 3M adhesive that they used for the STI logo on the trunk... It is killing me, I haven't got all of if off yet.
I need a PRODUCT what should I get...
By the way, I am just taking the sticky stuff off to replace the one those PUTOS stole from me a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks fellas

Goo Gone works, Napa has a tar remover which I've used and it works. WD40 is ok for the car as long as you wash it off and rewax the area after you're done. I've had to take off really old badges and pinstriping with turpentine. It doesn't remove clear coat but definitely be careful with it and clean the area after you're done.

^^^Brandy, didn't you describe a different trick to me using cellophane and goo gone?
I would just heat the area up and use something like your thumbs or a plastic spatula/scrapper to get it off.
Then polish/wax/buff/splooge.

I've been using 3M adhesive, tar & wax remover without any problems. It doesn't fugg up the paint and works pretty well. They sell it at places like Checkers. NAPA has an equivalent that they sell under their name too.

i took the "subaru" off my trunk and used goo gone on the left over adhesive. just put some on there and let it soak for a bit. come back with a damp towel/rag and just wipe all that crap off. might take a couple times to get everything off and clean, but it works great. i didn't even heat it up any. did it outside on a cloudy day too.
