Debadgeing #@$cking super glue!!!
I decided to debadge my car today.....Got off the ACURA letters and glue no problem. Then I take off the 3.2 and type S emblem and they appear to have been put on with superglue.It looks to be mixed/under the soft greyish glue that held on the letters. Its hard as five day old dog shit in the dead of summer. Clear in color and it took a little of my paint off with the emblem,actually two paint chips. 
So I am either going to have to put the 3.2 and type S emblem back on or: I need a suggestion what will dissolve this super glue.I am going to have to fix the paint anyways. If I cant get the glue off I'm stuck with the emblems
I tried goof off already. Ideas!!

I love the completely debaged look so I really dont want to glue them back on. I tried acetone also but not the other stuff. I used goof off not goo gone. Are they not the same stuff more or less. I think the glue is cured to the paint. May try wetsanding carefully and look up some DIY's on fixing paint.

WD40 did the trick.
How do I get foam off of my skin?
If the foam has not cured or hardened, use acetone or fingernail polish remover (with acetone). If the foam has hardened, there is no solvent that will remove it. It will not harm your skin and will wear off in several days. To remove cured foam from skin, use a pumice stone (available at most drug stores) and warm, soapy water. Then apply petroleum jelly.

that stuff sticks to everything.

Meh I guess the emblems are going back on. 
Went to two body shops and a auto body paint supplier and they all said nothing would soften it up. Anyone know the best glue to use?? :polf: 
Oh well thanks guys.
