Noted. I removed half of the old hardened glue the prior body guy used. Even with a minuscule piece of sand paper I managed to get hairline scratches by over-sanding on the body (which Meguiar’s Scratch didn’t remove). This was after failing to remove anything with 4 different solvents and a hair drier. Any other ideas for removal? ---

Did you try brake parts cleaner? Tester ---

No. I have Meguiar’s wheel cleaner (dissolves brake dust), though. Will that work? Half the glue is flush on the body but the other half of it is quite rough even though I reduced it down a bit with sand paper. ---

The glue is stuck and no amount of coercion seems to remove it. So why bother? Just re-glue the emblem over the old glue and be done with it. ---

I am usually the type not to worry about these things. But I am with this car. It’s so well-preserved. I have an idea: my mechanic told me the body guys use a rubber wheel to remove pin stripe decals, right down to the adhesive. Youtube show this, and with no scars to the body. Now in my case we’re talkin about more than a decal. The glue is like cement. But its not raised very high off the body. I think the $15 rubber wheel will get destroyed in the process but who cares. I think it’ll work. I’m also considering gluing a 1/4"x1/4" piece of sand paper to an electric toothbush. LOL. You see, when you use sandpaper, normally, you use your entire arm. Or, the drill or dremmel, or whatever is too heavy to control and you over-sand. The toothbrush I’m sure offers an unprecedented method in the autobody industry. Visions of appearing in Autobody Weekly, maybe doing a national tour come to mind. And other delusions. ---

It’s Not adhesive. It’s glue. I think I said that, above. Anyone can remove adhesive, leftover film, and the sort. In other words the previous guy didn’t know what he was doing. He didn’t use 2-sided tape. ---

Maybe. But not without considering that this is as novel to them as to everyone on here. Although now that I have this image I wouldn’t have to worry about explaining it the wrong way, nor will I have to go visit 3 shops before finding the right one. ---

Ha. Who knows.But I’m losing faith in the electric toothbrush approach. The rubber wheel is a good shot, for $15 nuthin to lose. Here’s an alternative (many) to the classic $35 3M Removal Tool which looks the same: [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/a/f/af347b0b76ab55ecaa447cd3a5d0014e64023e94.jpeg "Do NOT buy the 3M Eraser Wheel! - Debadging My Ram 2500 - Canopus Overlanding Off Road Build Series") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvXD_O6GL_0) ---

Nothing to lose? You could damage the paint, requiring lots of work/$$$ to correct. That glue is likely harder than the paint, paint will go first. ---
