2G: How do I remove OEM sticker residue

[DSMnOOb00]

How do I completely clean off the residue left behind by the OEM badge/sticker? I tried googone and got no where!! I wanted a nice clean look for my rear!

Thanks in advance!

Maybe using a hair dryer to melt it a bit then wipe off with a wet towel. Just keep repeating until you like it. Just don't focus heat on paint for to long. Good off eats away clear doesn't it? I used it once and the paint looked different in that area.

My friend used soap and water and then used wd-40 to remove it off his car. Might have to rub it a bit and repeat though

I tried pressure washing off the residue with no results, I'll give the hair dryer a try tho

I tried goo gone, all it did was make a mess

Weirdly enough, Coca Cola works wonders on glue residue (and rusted/jammed mechanisms and cleaning coins...wonder why we drink it? ). One that will also work is nail polish remover if you have one that has acetone in it in low portions.

Have you tried bug and tar remover? It got rid of the sticker residue on my car but im not sure if the adhesive is the same type. I had good results with that and a razorblade on the windows and for the body i soaked the area and used a scotchbrite pad.

Bug and Tar Remover or Oops! Adhesive Remover. Get a plastic scraper for Bondo if it's really on there.

Goo Gone usually works well when removing decals. I'm sure there is some other kind of adhesive remover that will work as well.. Try using something a bit rougher, obviously something not so rough that it will scratch your paint, possibly something like a rough sponge or something along that line.

isopropyl alcohol aka rubbing alchohol softens and loosens most glue residue, I have used it on paint before and it doesnt seem to hurt the paint or clear coat at all.

Goof off!(let sit), Not (goo gone), it will smear but when it dry's after the smear use car wax and it will all come off.

Brake cleaner.
Trust me, just don't scrub the jeezus out of it.
It worked for me.

[DSMnOOb00]

Sounds like a lot of people have a lot of ways to do it

[Jesse2012]

Turtle wax brand adhesive remover, worked good for me. It's sold at advance. Link

3m makes a sticker residue removal product.

[phunny]

Don't use brake cleaner... Wow.

WD40 will remove it and not damage the paint.

I used a hair dryer to warm up the glue then used a microfiber rag with WD-40. Nice and clean

I'm going to try the hair dryer & WD40! I'll post results

[Quicksilver1695]

Skin so soft. Works wonders believe it or not.

SIMPLE GREEN great stuff for pretty much every thing. Also contact cement cleaner

I've done the Hair dryer trick also. residue: "Goo-gone", WD-40 and lighter fluid is good, BUT don't be cheap and expect a little bit will do wonders...get it WET! You don't wash your hand with drops of water to remove dirt, do you .. you get them WET!

[stracer107]

Go to an autobody supply store and get an eraser wheel the have some that u can chuck in a drill. Use slow speed and take your time or you will damage your paint (not common). The 3m adhesive remover works wonders also

[supermario300hp]

just sand it off and repaint your car.lol

[gofer]

Goo Gone and a heat gun work great.

[squid267]

I used goo gone. Let it set in for about 5 mins then take a razor or a putty knife to it. Should come off nicely.

If only you had access to one of these. Took my Mitsubishi decal of in about eh, 2 minutes.
