Hey everyone, I have a quick question. The "CIVIC" badge on my EJ6 was falling off, so I went ahead and removed it all the way. There is some glue residue remaining where it was. I tried scrubbing it off with simple green, paint thinner, gasoline, nothing's really working. Any ideas of how to get this off. Maybe something a little abrasive like a scotch brite pad? I really don't want to scratch the paint, as it's in really nice condition.

 

40 grit sandpaper

 

use oops, goo gone or alcohol

 

Ha, good idea.

 

With a rag or is there something a little more abrasive that won't scratch?

 

The safest thing I've found for removing glue (and NOT removing the paint with it) is De-Solv-It. This stuff comes in handy for all sorts of things!

You can buy it anywhere, hardware stores, grocery stores, you name it...

Also, you might soften up the glue with a hair dryer before using the De-Solv-It.

WARNING: I used to work at an Ace Hardware store. Oops, Goo Gone, et cetera, can be pretty nasty. They're great for removing graffiti, fingernail polish, and so forth. But, I wouldn't apply it to the paint job on my ride! Caveat emptor...

If it was me, I'd carefully rub the glue with my fingernail and/or a soft piece of wood (such as a Popsicle stick). That's how I got rid of all the glue behind the front lip on my Vic.

Just take your time, and it will come off without damaging the paint.

 

yes a rag will do it. and it should not harm the paint. this is how i debadged my type S. make sure u wax it when ur done

 

you could buy any kind of adhesive remover, though good ole zippo lighter fluid usually does the trick faster than anything
