Try using a large pencil erasure. Worked for me.

shnee

mine looked like that when i took em off...

just hold the hair dryer there for a while, put on a liberal amount of goo gone, and scrape that shit with a credit card.

you sure it's glue and not a lack of paint

CLpwner

ya its the glue... or w/e they put the letters on with... thanks ill try that in a sec and let u know how it goes...

CLpwner

geez, i trie really hot with goof off and credit card all that did was just chip the credit card to hell... i also tried the eraser thing... i dont konw what u think i have there, ( maybe u cant tell from the picture) but that didnt work at all... any more ideas?

Put some acetone on a cloth and then hold the cloth over the glue and let that work for a few seconds and that should do it. Try doing the same thing with goo gone and not goo off. I've not used goo off but I know goo gone works. Then when your done go get some Turtle Wax Polishing Compound NOT the rubbing compound!! Polishing compound is in the green container and go over the effected area a few times with that and that should get rid of any discoloration that might be left over. I just finally did the polishing compound a few days ago after removing an emblem like a year and a half ago. When I first removed the badge I used a blow dryer and dental floss, then used goo gone and acetone to remove left over glue. but then I had this dark outline from where the emblem was and I couldn't get it off. I had some rubbing compound lying around so I tried that and it didn't help it actually put little scratches into my paint and made it a little worse. After that I just let it be and I drove around with this dark outline for the past year and a half. Until I decided to try polishing compound to see if that worked (I didn't think it would). After my first application the outlined seemed a little less prominent so I tried it again, and again, and again, and again and after about 5-6 applications it was gone. I didn't notice any extra scratches like what was caused by using the rubbing compound so I'm happy. The polishing compound also got rid of the paint exchange from another vehichle when it hit me. Very useful stuff for only $2. Highly Recommended!! Still haven't found a good use for rubbing compound though. I'm sure it would've worked just like the polishing but it would've scratched the shit out of my trunk lid in the process.

thanks a lot for the detailed response man haha.... ill try it out and let u know but i gotta go by the store and pick up some goof off, what is acetone BTW?

BlkonBlkAttack

acetone is like the main ingredient in nail polish remover. If you live with the fam ask your rents if they have any lying around, they probably do. It's a paint thinner like mineral spirits, turpentine, etc. AFAIK they're basically all the same, at least they all smell the same so you could use any of those.

CLpwner

oh ok... im gona do it tommorwo i didnt have time to get any

CLpwner

ok, well the goo gone didnt work either nor the acetone... im pretty sure it is not the factory glue... i think the previous owner f-ing super glued it back on there... stupid mo-fo... anyway, anyone know how to get super glue off auto paint without f-ing the paint?

use glue debonder, i had super glue used on mine and zhous told me z-7 glue debonder and it worked for me.

CLpwner

iight thanks... ill check into it

at the local car wash place, they have some liquid in a container for getting off weird stuff stuck to your car.. i dont know what it is, but i had some shit stuck to my car and nothing would get it off, and then they rubbed this stuff on it really good and it came off

i dont know what it is though, maybe someone else here does or maybe you could go to a local carwash and find out

CLpwner

where would u get that stuff... i went to home depot and autozone... neither one had it

AznX TL

check hobby stores or ebay.

CLpwner

ahhh hobby stores... brilliant

Good luck guy. I did all of the above and still no dice. So now I'm going to have to sand it off and get my trunk repainted. Sucks don't it. I don't know why someone would still want those on, let alone glue that shit with some strange epoxy. Some people are so stupid.

goo gone should work worked for me just fine, then wash, and buff the shit out of it after word

If you can get your hands on some solvent that stuff will take it right off no problem. I work for a car dealership and the detail guys use that stuff on door jambs, glue lines from the white plastic that the car comes with when it gets dropped to the dealer.

shnee

that's probably the same stuff i was talking about at the carwash.. it really got sap (or whatever it was) right off when nothing else would
