Goo Gone
I am removing the Carrera script from my engine cover. I got the plastic Carrera off, but the adhesive is still on it.
A friend gave me a bottle of Goo Gone. Has anyone used Goo Gone on their paint? Did it damage the paint at all?
I assume it will also strip the wax off the paint too.
thanks,
--Joe

Try a hair dryer and a soft plastic scraper to remove most of the grey adhesive residue. Be gentle. When most gone, soak a paper towel with GG and let sit for a few minutes. Then use scraper again. Note that you will probably still be able to see a shadow of the removed script from some angles/in some light, but repeated apps of light body compound, polish and waxing along with light exposure will help make it become more "invisible" over time.

Or you can use 3M Adhesive Remover which is made for this exact application. Fast working too, but if you already have GG in your garage it looks like the same results can be achieved

^^^^ Yep it's made for removing the gray backing tape on emblems. I will give it a shot on tar. I always used 3M Wax and Grease Remover, but love a dual use product. I have cabinets full of crap. Thanks for the hint.
