mild soap and water does the trick!

are you talking about the glue residue? Some simple soap and water should do it.

I used rubbing compound, got rid of the print/shadow whatever you wanna call it. it have other good uses too, so buy it if you dont have it.

it has so many uses. rubbing and polishing...

i would start with polishing first... if that doesnt work, then go with rubbing. rubbing is a bit more abrasive

i use it on my car often because theres a lot of oxidization when I got the car. It is 5 years old after all. At first I bought it because of the debadge, then I start using it on the door handles, under the side markers, anywhere else that looks dirty.

I used goo gone and scratch-x. I found it looked like it was gone, but when the dust settled on it I could see the shadow. It took me a couple of tries with both.

Be very careful when venturing here .. "Rubbing Compound" is a very broad term and has got a lot of people in trouble .. especially the TW stuff.

Your better off to try something like ScratchX on a soft cloth and use a little patience.

I have repaired more than one "Rubbing Compound" adventure and its not cheap.

Here is one example of someone taking the "Rubbing Compound" advice;

WD40 does the trick and will not leave any marks like polishing compounds or goo-gone...

I just used a good wax. Clean it up and wax it, its semi abrasive so it takes the marks right out.

What wax .. it would help a lot if you guys were a little more specific in your suggestions.. I know lots of "good" waxes and most aren't abrasive.

I used googone, alcohol, soap and water and the outline would not come out. I had to pull out the Porter Cable and buff it out.

Crestwood1001

It not exactly abrasive, but all waxes are a little. I forget the name its in the bright orange bottle. Love the stuff

Bug and Tar remover for the glue and McGuiars deep crystal polish to bring the colors back...

I have used the bug & tar remover and I have also used Goof-off.
Be careful & patient when using any of these products. Use at your own risk.

I got a cotton ball w/ wd-40 and taped on for 5 minutes. Came off w/ no traces of glue left. Then i used some spay on wax and it looks perfect.no "ghost" letters left either....

Crestwood1001

Nu Finish! Thats what it is haha, and what color are you guys doing this on? It came off no problem on my WDP

from all the times i've done this..
goo gone and some decent wax. use a few coats if necessary and some decent elbow grease and you'll get that paint blended.
fwiw i wouldn't use very corrosive chemicals or hardcore detailing products for something that is relatively trivial to do in aspects of detailing and such..

i wish someone told me this earier, i used 3M adhesive remover and it literally took some of the clearcoat of car away

How do you know this? ...maybe the area is just hazed from the removal.
