    If you can find GOOF OFF, try it. better than goo gone and cost's less. Menards and wal mart carry it in the paint dept. Just like everyone else says, SLOW and EASY, Clay Bar, and a good coat of wax.

    i already clean the surface with an adhersive remover and its all smooth now, its just the color is brighter underneath were the badge beacuse that was not out in the weather, and that is what I want to blend in more. I will do clay bar beacuse its needs it anyway, but will the rubbng compound help with the blending?

    Clay bar wont help with color (Just removes the surfrace residue) but using the clay bar will make the polishing outcome better. Get some good polish and go to town on it!

    I've done that before. Sometimes you just gotta put some force into it.

    It will make the color much deeper, I guess bolder may be a better work.


    I've used those plastic razorblades at work, and they scratched the paint pretty good when trying to remove dealer stickers. They might work better on solid badges, but they just don't have any leverage. Just use a heat gun/hairdryer to heat up the glue first, then use a plastic spatula.

    not if you konow hat your doing lol just do what ever method you feel the most comfortable with

    ive found that it all seems to go better using a razor if the area around the spot is already buffed or polished. the razor glides right over it and doesnt want to try to catch on anything because its all smooth. also use a claybar to remove the grit in that area befor you buff or polish it

    just as a personal preference, i dont like the plasic razor blades. but to be honest ive never used one either, just the way they look doesnt sit so great with me. to me it looks almost useless
