Re: Help!
Start rubbing with your finger. You can also try some heat. Once you get most of it off use goo gone or 3M adheasive remover to clean the rest off.

Rub off as much as you can with your finger before you start using any products. When you start using the products the glue gets slimy and is kind of hard to get off.

Re: Help!
It doesn't look like you used any heat while getting the lettering off?

goo gone and a rag. wet the rag, soak the rag, rub it over the sticky sh*t, let it sit for a few minutes, go back with the goo gone rag and rug it hard starting at corners, once it starts building up (the foam part that is) rip it off, and keep on doing it till its done, then go back with wax, wax the area, then polish it. and BAM, brand new! same thing I did on my tailgate emblem removal. worked like a charm. shouldnt take you more then like 30 min to do all that.

Re: Help!
When i took mine off I used a pressure washer with hot water. It took all most all of it off. What was left I just used Acetone and a soft clean rag.

DO IT BITCH




man, but thats what I used and it worked wonders. I dont know if you saw my thread for the tailgate emblem removal of my truck, but thats all I used : hair dryer, fishing line, goo gone, and a rag. I was done in 20 min or so.
