Thanks NVMY4N.

Tried the Floss + Goo-Gone + Hairdryer technique last night.
It took me about 45 minutes to remove half the "S" adhesive on my paint.
Only got as far as removing the "S", and left the "2000" on there.
Gave up.

Any other suggestions?

I removed both sides completely with that method in about 45 minutes.

Heat the adhesive up thoroughly.

Really work the dental floss back and forth to cut through the adhesive.

SOAK the adhesive in goo gone and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.

Come back with a good gone soaked rag and start wiping (this part will take you the longest.

When you are done, polish out any imperfections and put a nice layer of wax down.

Okay, there's a Nor'Easter coming in tonight... so I'll be snowed-in, trying to remove the emblems again tonight.

Thanks!

Hey thanks... this should be a great help. Too bad I can't goto the automotive store tonight... we're in the middle of an Ice/Snow storm.

Thanks.
