Try Zippo lighter fluid or WD-40, they will not hurt your finish.

sorry friend, if it's glue that was on the back of that emblem, you'll prolly have to sand it off and repaint.

Still can't get it off. Now I'm trying to figure out what I can do without hurting my paint. I may try lightly sanding it off, because if the glue doesn't come off I'll have to cover it and if I sand it and it doesn't work I'll have to cover it. So I'll probably end up with the decal back on, but there is that slim chance that if I sand it just right it may work. I hope it works. If any of you have any other ideas I'm open to suggestions. :crazyeyes:
