some people have said to use a credit card to scrape it off with goo gone. dont do it too hard though or you'll find yourself with hairline scratches all over the place.

so what so you guys suggest i use to get rid of the residue? and do you think itll look good ... cuz i mean it looks dirty, know what i mean, so i dont know if that is gunna be easy to clean and make it look like the rest of the car ... to the point where you cant tell it said acura before.

what color is the car? i know it will show a little, especially since the emblems have been sitting on there for almost 8 years. if you want it perfect, its gonna take time, and a lot of wax. just dont use anything too sharp.

Keep rubbing it with a towel and goo gone. If that doesn't work, try some steel wool. Press really hard while scrubbing.
