So we took my rear scion, xB embels off today and they glue is ON THERE!! I have tried rubbing alcohol, goo gone and it has removed it but hardly anything else out there that would work great?????? HELP!!

 

get a can of 3m bug and tar remover thats what I used and it can off real easy. You should be able to get it at a local auto parts store..

F that, that bug n tar remover by meguiuars left white residue over my grill and it left dull white(greyish) mess on my SW. I don't know what to do with it now. Was going to buy a clay bar.... but I saw it was by meguiars so I put it down......

 

Emblems, not Embels.

Heat will help, a lot. I used Goo Gone. It still took quite some time.

 

we tried usin a hair dryer but didnt wanna do the trick really

 

Must have been cold there!

Hotter it is, more adhesive comes off with the emblem. It was over 85 deg SoCal heat when mine came off. I used WD-40 on a soft cotton rag to remove the residue. It cuts road tar and emblem adhesive.

Disclaimer: Try it on a non conspicuous place first, YMMV. It did OK, mines PW.

 

i did mine at nite in about 40* w/ a hair dryer and floss, i removed the emblem ok, but left all the glue on as well. i got some all purpose solvent from work from the detail guys. w/ some heat it came off pretty good w/ a lil ghosting. immediatly follow w/ wax. the ghostin went away after a few washings and some more waxin that area.

the solvent also worked extremely well on window tint glue in conjuntion w/ a razor blade. it took me a total for 1 hour to remove the film and glue on both from windows

 

ok so all purpose solvent/w-40 ok i cant wax till this next weekend when i have time i think though 8-(

 

Just wax the hatch if time is a problem.

 

ok thanks any new info cmoes up please tell me thanks!

 

i just waxed the areas the stuff got on
and i have heard if u hold heat directly on a spot for too long, u will bubble ur paint...i just moved the hair dryer side to side and had no problems

 

Yea i will try and wax it tomm if i have a chance. I wanna get a cf hatch but who knows. I would rather keep the stock with a clean look haha

 

i used turtle wax bug & tar remover and had no problems
i also have a TCM like u. u have to just rub it alot and the
solvent will do the rest. just use microfiber towel

 

i used this real cheap sponge i got from pep boys, in a towel pack
ithas a mesh around the sponge,
rubbed, a little elbow grease, came right off, then i just re-waxed the area and now its clean,
wouldnt think something so cheap would do such a good job

 

Nah bro it doesnt matter that its 40 outside I would say 40 or above is best..


Dood I said by 3M not Meguiars, the Meguiars stuff sux.. 3M Bug and Tar remover is the sh**. That stuff works soo great.
