when i took off my LX logo i used a little paint thinner which i put on a rag. It took everything off and didnt screw up the paint at all. Worked well for me.

yes, i used a hair dryer and i used my index finger to roll the goo off....i occasionally used various other fingers. whatever works for you
nothing fancy...to me a whole 10 min at most. got the top layer of good off...took warm water and soap and scrubbed...dried it and rubbed more good off with the dryer and finger technique, and then scrubbed one last time with the warm soap and water and presto...paint was a lot prettier than the other outside paint though

WD40 = best adhesive remover ever.
Let it soak in and then go over it with a rag, it works really good on that last layer of goo. It doesn't penetrate thick double-sided tape well. Also, don't use it if you plan on sticking something else there anytime soon.

just get some putty and keep dabbing it, it eventually like stated above just roll off after a few... what car did you take the emblem off of? didnt it leave 2 little holes in your trunk after you took off the H sign.?
Bug and tar remover works pretty well and I've just used a rag to rub the glue off.
Be sure when it comes off to go ahead and hit the area with some polish and wax incase there was any paint fade.

i used wd40 for about 20 min, about half of the sticky stuff came off
i sprayed the sticky stuff and let it soak for about 3 min then used my 24 hour fitn ess card to scrape it off, did it for about 20 over and over and half of it came off, still a lot left though,
i guess ill try goo gone now

WD-40 man....works everytime....trust me....dont leave it on to long though it ruins paint.....if you spray it on take off the glue stuff then rinse it off it wont hurt though....

go to your local hardware store and get a product called "adhesive remover" belive it or not that is what it is made for
how the hell do you people always **** this up.....
use a hair dyer till the emblem basicaly falls off....then scrape off the remainging glue w/ you finger (roll it into a ball).....takes about 3 minutes

ya, i thought the hairdryer thing was obvious...your reason for having so much trouble is because you didnt use a hair dryer or a heat gun lol
actually after i took off the accord and dx emblem, i used a hair dryer for about 2 min and nothing happened, all i got was warm sticky stuff

mineral spirits or adhesive remover with a cloth rag will do it
some glues are tougher than others and oh yea lighter fluid the kind for zippo lighters is good too!
