I took my badges off: 2004 Acura RSX-S
Now I need some help trying to remove the sticky stuff off the trunk.
Tried pretty basic stuff, soapy water, windex..
Still can't seem to remove it.

Goo Gone, 3M adhesive remover...if neither of those work, heat it up a bit with a hairdryer and it should come off easily.
You may need to use a polish or compound to remove any other residue

Try some Gunk Tar-N-Bug remover. It's clearcoat safe. Works wonders removing tar and old gooey sticker residue.

I used goo gone when I took my Civic badge off of my car. Then I washed it and buffed it. Didn't leave any mark at all and didn't harm the paint.

It is good. And the best part is, I found it at a 99cents store. LOL! Anyways leave it on there for 15 seconds, and just wipe away with a soft paper towel. No marks. I lend it to my friend to remove the sticker residue from those 3M stickers. After alcohol, scratching it off, that bottle just took it off like it was nothing!

Never had problems removing emblems on vehicles with goo gone and a microfiber towel. I see you have an 04 RSX, so I would suggest doing a nice buffing where the emblems used to be. The bug and tar remover sounds like a great idea too, espcially if it is clearcoat safe.

Autozone might have Goo Gone, but you're honestly better off going to a dollar store, or a drug store to find it.

"Goo Gone" and Rubbing alcohol are pretty good with that...just make sure whatever you use is safe on the paint.
