One of my "S2000" Badges came off and I'm looking to remove to black glue/adhesive that remains before I put my new emblem on.
Best way to go about this?

Thank you.

 

Goo Gone $1.49 +tax at the dollar store

 

Tried using it..it removed the original glue but the emblem was reapplied once with some type of inferior glue that is really hard.
Kind of lost..about to call a professional detailer. Not trying to use paint thinner.

 

Its expensive, but 900 Pre-Kleano is amazing.

You may be able to find a smaller container for cheaper.

thanks.
I just made some phone calls and found out an Epoxy was used..gonna bust out the blow dryer. lol

 

Mine was horrible to get off. Literally took an hour of just heating spraying with goo gone and wiping. Finally ended up just leaving it alone as I was having my car sprayed in a few weeks and it just got sanded off. The "h" emblems on the other hand popped right off with no adhesive under them.. Go figure.

 

I've been through this nightmare. You will NEED a heat gun. Not a blow dryer, an actual heat gun. And be warned, once you take the emblem off, you will have a hideous "s2000" shadow on your fender. I have buffed and buffed and it will not come off. Complete respray coming for me. Don't do it

 

I think nasa should have used this adhesive to hold their spaceships together, it's that ridiculous

 

I think a heat gun would make it easier. A blow dryer and fishing line got it off for me but I feel more heat would have gotten more of the adhesive off initially.

 

I use this, got it at OSH. No longer available in California. Test an area to make sure the clear coat is okay first.
