i just cleaned the area and removed the residue with my thumbnail- not hard to do... then polished well after i installed the new badges.

WD40 or vegetable oil depending on the surface material. Don't use these on the visors, for example.

I just took my windshield tape off yesterday...what a friggen pain in the ass. I went out and bought some Bug and Tar remover (Turtle Wax).

I tried baby oil, etc and the B&T remover took it right off. Put it on, let it sit for about 10 mins and it whiped right off. I suspect the glue is close to the same for the stickers and or emblems.

In an unexpected moment of passion (in the garage, on my hood), my wife and I ...... umm ..... well........ uhh....... Anyway, afterwards, the "H" emblem just kinda.........well......... lifted right off - no residue or anything left underneath. Sorta like Goo --- (hint: if you're not going, you're ...........)
