blake918 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I wanted to PC the dull, oxidized paint behind all of the emblems on my trunk, so I pulled the emblems off. None of the old glue would come off though. Any suggestions? I have no idea where to even start! This is what I'm dealing with.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Things to use Heat helps really well to ball the gum a product from home depot called "goof off" ( i think) high speed poisher bug and tar remover or 3M adhesive remover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake918 Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 Thanks, I'll give those a try! I didn't know if I should try a polisher...I didn't know if it would be bad for the pads and/or paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW03ES Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I'd use 3M's adhesive remover first as the Goo Gone isn't formulated for automotive finishes. Then finish up with the PC ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 lacquer thinner. Removed the glue on my Caprice and didn't hurt the paint. Of course I used Maquire's #1 and Collinite afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinunderpressure Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 The same company that makes PB Blaster makes a product called DSR (Decal Sticker Remover) It makes removing sticky stuff like glue and adhesive a breeze. Here is some information http://www.blasterchemical.com/store/morei...fm?Product_ID=6 Thanks, Scott 99 LS 400 87 Monte Carlo SS Turbo 03 Ford Excursion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROBERT THOMASON Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 WD40 and your finger nail. just keep spraying and let it sit for awhile then keep repeating till its gone. Wipe off residue and clean then wash the surface. Dry real well and clean again with rubbing alcohol and then apply new badges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goof Off works fine though. or was it goo gone... one of those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goof Off works fine though. I havent heard that... I used wd40 on my peral white 94 ls to remove the gold badges and replaced with silver. Worked great and no problems what so ever.
