Goo Gone is terrible

3M adhesive remover works very very well.

This.

This all we ever used in the shop

i dont know if it has been said but i recently finished fully debadging my trunk. I used zippo fuel. worked very well and very fast. no damage to the paint. as soon as i got the adhesive off i washed the area with car soap and water then waxed the area.

stop using this crap on your paint guys. use an eraser wheel.

it's made for debadging and removing glue residue. just use it like a polishing wheel except you use the edge like in the pic. it does heat the paint so careful not to burn it. you can get one at a body shop supply store.

i've done it on my car and countless customer cars at the body shop i worked at. it doesnt damage the paint at all just don't be a dummy with it and sit in one spot for too long.

goo gone has its purposes and yes it does work for debadging. I have debadged countless client's cars with zero issues. I always clay the area after then apply sealant, wax, etc.

The 3m stuff is pretty freaking good as well though.

gas works on most stuff then just clean the car up after you get it all off

hmmmm... I guess in a pinch you could use gas but it would never be my go to product... lol

idk my car is over 3 years old and i drive it every day and a bunch of highway miles and it looks pretty flawless and i know i've used gas before on the hood and other parts of the car to get tree sap off and other weird crap. it never hurt anything but then again i'm usually always washing my car

Have you ever seen those cars with the funky discolored streaks down the side of the qtr panel just below the gas cap?

It is there for a reason, gas.

It is not the ideal solution for cleaning your car. Perhaps if you washed it right after or you keep a very thick coat of wax/sealant then I can see it not diminishing the clear coat as quickly but eventually it will happen if you don't take care of it. I am happy you are always washing your car.
