Removing Emblems and letters but....

How do you guys get rid of the sticky **** that holds them on?? Ive been using petrol and its made the glue a bit soft enough to wipe off, but it looks like theres some superglue there too thats like rock!! is there some sort of way to get rid of it without damaging the paint??

Goo Gone

I used this stuff called Goo Gone. You can find it at Wal-Mart or K-Mart in the section where they sell houshold cleaning products.

I just peeled it off slowly with my fingers into little *****. I rubbed my finger across it from the edges and it rolled up, then I was able to pull it off. After that was done I used Simple Green to get the rest off, then waxed the whole trunk to completely get rid of any marks.

If you bought the car used its possible a previous owner shaved the badges off too, then reglued them on with superglue. Thats prob. what Id do if I were selling my Max and wanted to put the badging back on.
Be careful with the razor blade, you dont wanna have the whole trunk repainted do you?
