Exactly the same method I used. If your paint is becoming damaged somehow, you're doing something wrong.

 

would simple green be of any use in this situation?

 

I believe simple green advises that you not expose your paint to it.

Back OT, when I removed the emblems on my last caR I heated them up with a blow dryer and pryed the goo of with my fingers and what was left I kept waxing and waxing until it was all gone.

 

noting messed up my paint.. it was already messed up when i took off wing? check this out






adhisivce is taking forever!!

 

Adhesive ownz joooo

 

same idea http://images.google.com/imgre...a%3DN

 

use that goo off ****, that works as well. We used it on my friends celica no paint damage. WD40 works too.

 

thx mike that **** is working!

 

Honda silicone spray or honda spray and polish works wonders

The damage (at least some of it) appears to be rust forming under the paint. The adhesive you're trying to remove is not the factory foam, indicating that the wing had been previously removed and reinstalled. The rust most likely formed either while the wing was off, or because the new adhesive didn't form a good seal and allowed moisture to enter and become trapped.

 

I have to agree and say that it looks like you have rust. It does not look like the factory holes, is that a replacement hatch?

NOW here is wing and teaster pics

wing was before i washed car.




teaser.. not done washing yet.



i know its not a R
i know i miss around the valvestem

 

looks like the paint was still a bit wet, when the wing was attached to the caR.

 

 

goo gone worked the best for me and it was not too harsh for the paint.

 

Just be sure to thoroughly wash and wax the area once you're done.

 

o i have. : https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1139546
