Best emblem adhesive remover?

[Uncle Gump]

I'm replacing my Ranger badging... and it appears I've created a mess.

What recommendations do you folks have for the left on the truck adhesive tape?

They sure don't give those away...

I tried some goo gone... that decal tape just laughed at it.

The glue comes off a TON easier if de-badging a brand new vehicle...

I present to you.... a solution!

I think I just used Goo Gone with copious amounts of elbow grease.
But....

I still think I need a few new friends...

I got a 3M eraser wheel and a can of 3M adhesive remover coming tomorrow.

The 3M adhesive remover works ok. I've also used straight xylene on a micro fiber cloth with excellent results and no paint damage. Much cheaper than 3M at HD. I always had xylene on hand to help get my older sports cars to pass smog.

Ive used a plastic bondo applier after putting a hair dryer to it for a bit, then alcohol for the remaining residue. Been awhile since Ive done that though.

I wish I would have taken a picture... but I used my cheap heat gun... non marring trim tool.. and easily the badges came right off. Trouble is... like all of the adhesive tape stayed on the truck.

I had to pick and use my scraper to get the tape going... but that eracer wheel is the bees knees.

One down... one to go.
