I was thinking it probably it wasn't goo, because it wouldn't come off with the Goo Gone. I going to try to take it off later today. I'll post results.
When this is done at a body shop they use a hard rubber disc on a drill and it removes it all complety, you might go buy a body shop and ask them about doing this for you if you don't feel like you could do it.
I did it to mine, and in about 2 minutes it remove's everything, and without hurting the finish of the paint at all..

Maybe it's not glue at all. There's a possibility that the paint might have been damaged during the removal of the emblems. A buddy of mine had something like that happen while debadging his Impreza. The clear coat was practically ripped off the paint.
ok.. I don't really know what this is.. The goo gone worked PERFECTLY for the double stick tape or whatever honda used.. What IS left, is a very smooth marks that you can feel very slightly. I tried goo gone last night and took off everything expect these marks. I used goo gone fr about two 1/2 hours. So whats left on the car is very very smooth to the touch. If you try t scratch it, there isn't enough lift in the mark to catch you nail..So basically it just feels like you're scratching freshly waxed paint. I two different rubbing compounds, and i don't believe they really help at all. Im thinking of trying a polishing compound like stated earlier. I think its old residue dirt that oxidized into the paint? I dont even know IF that is possible. But, If anyone in my area knows there way around a porter cable and wants to help LMK. Now im going to return the rubbing compound and try to polishing compound.
I have a white S2k and went to the red H badges on the front and rear in December. When I removed the front, there was some blue staining under the badge, reminents of (junk BTW) turtle wax ice wax. IT would not come off with as much as carb cleaner, and I had to let the strong Florida sun bleach it out for about 5 months - to which it is now gone.
