    Debadged the Beast, but....

    Ok, I have successfully debadged the beast, but I still have some residue from the glue and an outline of VehiCROSS on the sides and ISUZU on the back. I have taken WD-40 to all of it, gently, and less gently rubbed it, but to no avail. Haven't hurt the paint, yet..

    Any thoughts as to how to get rid of the residue?

    i got spray on bug and tar remover and wiped it with LOTS of elbow grease with a microfiber cloth, took maybe 15 min per emblem

    ...then strip the paint with a good paint cleaner, clay bar it, add polish, then wax....

    should be good.

    Clay bar is the way. That is what I used to get rid of all the sticky. The clouding won't go away though for some time. I STILL have a little clouding on the sides, but I still have yet to get a pro wax job done....

    I have always just used adhesive remover with great results.
