Someone Help! (debagging)
I recently debagged the CL. However I am having difficulty removing the residue left behind. I bought some type of residue remover (forgot the name) at discount auto parts.
It has removed some of it but there is still some left. Anyone know how to removed dried
up residue from your paint? It seems that the double sided tape left behind has dried up
and it's giving me a hassle. I tried searching the forum but found nothing. Help a brotha out meng! Thx.

soak with adhesive remover, then scrape with a credit card. credit card won't hurt the paint but it will take the residue right off.
then wax the hell out of it.
and you meant debadge, right

I knew there was something wrong with my spelling.
I tried soaking it with adhesive remover but it's tougher than I originally thought.
I will try the hair dryer and the my license. Credit card is a

why would you use your drivers license but not a credit card?

Use some goo gone and scrape the shit out of it with a card and your fingernails. Make sure you wax your trunk afterwards, goo gone does a number to your wax job.

You can try using a little little little bit of gasoline on a rag to take off the residue. It works really good. But you can't leave the gasoline on the paint cuz it'll wear it down with the sun. I had some overspray on my car from the median lines, and I buffed it but it wouldn't come out. So I put some gasoline on a towel and it came right off. Just make sure to dispose of your stuff right man, you don't wanna fire.

I was asking how to initially remove the emblems without endangering the paint (I did search that and found conflicting information) and if you don't like someones question, how about ignoring it instead of being a smartass
