You mean the adhesive that is left behind? Alcohol works, but make sure to wax the surface after.

Yes. I am going to remove the emblems and I have read that It usually leaves a adhesive residue behind. Is waxing the surface neccessary? why? I dont really want to wax it just yet because I live in arizona and the heat is horrible. I was going to heat up the emblems and use floss to get em off and possibly alcohol wipes.

Just use some goo gone. Did the trick for me easily.

use dental floss to first cut through the adhesive much easier to remove then use your goo gone.

You can use a 3m eraser wheel (goes on a drill) if the adhesive is baked and not coming off very easily.

Be careful not to apply much pressure. It's safe on paint as long as you are careful.
