Shaving my @ss (bumper) help!!!

I've already removed all of the letters and the nissan emblem off the trunk of my car, but now i'm got that damn brown adhesive left over. I've already gotten it all off of the first M in maxima, but it took forever and my hand hurt, all i could do was use my nails and peel it off and it took forever. Anyone know an easier way?

Go to Wal-mart/ Kmart and by some "Goo Gone" in the cleaning section. That stuff took mine right off. After that throw some wax on there a buff the shadow out

Get an adhesive remover.

I used 3M's Wax and Tar and adhesive remover (safe on paint), there are many products that you can use.

I did this in the freezing cold.. first you want to heat up that glue, but not too much, just to get it maliable, it should peal right off once its warm. (I used a hair dryer).. then like pjalst said, get some goo gone, that stuff works wonders... also a little mothers milk to buff out the shadow wont hurt... Check out my homepage for pics of the tail

if you dont want to spend $$ you can use WD-40 .. becareful not to OVER use this, or you will have a new paint mod .. you can also use Isopropyl alcohol, aka rubbing alcohol... no Crystal Palace wont work..

I got it out with the goo gone. But i did leave some scratches from buffing so hard. Sucky I'm gonna need alil touch up paint, just there the big nissan emblem was that didn't come out with wax.

i was burning my hand if it made contact with the car (black)
i just used a blowdryer and car wash soap and it came off.
be sure to put a coat of wax on afterwards
