Holy chit - sawing thru a steel bar with dental floss! Did the guy have a 25 year sentence and cut thru the bar in 24 years and 6 months? lolDental floss?? I'd try on someplace you won't worry about if it scratches and can't buff out. Read a prisoner cut bar on jail cell over a looong time.
I think you might be able to spray on some kind of adhesive release product. Maybe slightly prying the emblem with one of those no mar plastic trim tools, but I don't know how it might affect your paint. But, like Ron H says a hair dryer could work
Lol - when I've used my wife's dryer...I never tell her! I just sneak it out to da garage and back when I'm done.But I don't have a hair dryer because I don't have hair. Thanks for all the responses. I'll let you know how it goes. Hopefully I won't have to come back with a question about what paint to use on the tail panel.
There is a rotary tool, called an "eraser" that works the best to remove the adhesive residue. Contact any automotive paint store.Well the dental floss did the trick to get the emblem off. Then I tenderly peeled the sticky off with my thumb nail and followed up with some Goof Off. There's exhaust residue on the tail panel so tomorrow I'll take some polish to it and it should all be good.
