i took off my rear left "acura" emplem, but now the residue where the adhesive was made a thick crust on the paint. what are some paint-safe chemicals i can use to remove this?? i already washed the car w/no luck.. i also tried "Goo-gone" but that is starting to strip the paint at the edges! i need help!! TIA

 

paint remover in can works good!

 

Try Goof Off, they sell it at Home Depot, it works good, and won't strip paint.

 

I've used goo-gone many many many times on car paint to remove adhesive and I've never had problems with it. How do you know it's actually stripping the paint? Has it already eaten through the clearcoat? If so then I would guess the stuff is defective and would recommend trying a different bottle from a different store. Goo-Gone itself will not harm car paint.

 

they sell adhesive remover. dont use paint thinner

 

sorry i think the paint was like that before i applied it. i scrubbed the hell out of it with a rag and Goo-Gone and it finally all came off (also thanks to my Visa). but now it looks like somebody etched in an outline of "acura". thats why i thought it was stripping the paint

 

goof off might help it helps with sticker goo

 

Oh...goo gone rocks
