Default Rock Solid Adheisive Left Overs

I took off my fender badges and now I have concrete, rock solid adhesive left-overs stuck to my paint. I've tried everything sold in the stores to get it off with absolutly no progress. Any ideas?

Hmmm, did Goo Gone work at all? That stuff works on practically everything!

None of that stuff worked at all... not even the smallest piece came off. The glue isn't sticky or pliable at all anymore so I'm afraid it's never going to come off.

try heating it up with a heat gun (blow dryer) and then see if it gets any softer. goo gone or wd-40 should take it right off.

i know that there was one pretty big hole behind the emblems on my 94, they were prob between 1/2 and 3/4 inch diameter. im not sure if the emblem that you are talking about getting would cover it all though, you would prob have to get the hole filled and touched up.

Not if it's Epoxy that he's talking about. Epoxy once dried is like fiberglass, nothing penetrates it or loosens it or melts it. You have to chip away at it or sand it off.

I would try a wet sand kit, sounds like it has permanently bonded to the surface.
