First try some ordinary car wax and rub it very well, if that doesn't work, try rubbing compound the same way.

heh, I just debadged my car, then washed it, then waxed it right after and I had to use goof-off (very simliar to goo-gone) to get off the sticky stuff. I used that anda plastic credit card like thing. It left some tiny scratches behind on the paint, but it's only noticable if you get REALLY up close. the outline didn't fully disappear until I waxed it, so give that a try. It's still not totally gone though. You can still kinda see the 3 of 3.0CL on teh back, but only ifyou are looking for it, and if you know where to look. I left the acura symbol though.

OMG never use a sponge. If i saw u I would have slaped you. You try bug and tar remover. It will take a while but you just have to work it off.
