Default It won't come off!!!
I recently removed my emblems with a heat gun and dental floss but theres still some double sided tape. I picked most of it off but there is still come glue that won't come off. I've tried everything. It feels like it hardened onto my paint. HELP!!! How did you guys take off your emblems?

lighter fluid. if that doesnt work, go to advanced auto parts or pepboys. ask for an eraser wheel. they are like 29 dollars. you could probably get it online cheaper. they go on your drill and do wonders. i did my buddys trailblazer SS, my other friends cummins, and my friends tc.

im surprised u didnt bubble your paint with a heat gun.

a blow dryer and fishing line / floss would have worked fine



goo gone and good old elbow grease should work fine keep scrubbing!

could also be super glue from the previous owner putting it back on or from a repaint... and didnt think to use adhesive tape.

+1 for goo gone. as well as: iso alcohol and perhaps gasoline.
or get a bucket of hot soapy water, which might take the longest.

Goo gone is definitely a sticky jobs best friend. Topped with some polish and you will be good to go.
