How to get the debadged goo off???

I just debadged my Lancer. Now, I'm stuck with this gooey crap in its place. I tried goo-gone and I even washed the entire car in like 30 degree weather, but it still won't come off? How did you guys get that stuff off of your cars?

You really have to scrub with the goo gone......try using a hair dryer on it for a few seconds, it'll soften the glue up, then use the goo gone

Don't use goo gone. Just get some rubbing alcohol and scrub it off.

Use WD-40. Soak a rag, don't rub with a rag, use your hand and after soaking until the glue is real soft use your finger nail. If you rub with a coarse rag it will scratch your paint.

The safest thing you can do is pick up some naptha (lighter fluid). It works wonders.

Car wax or polish and a little patience. Goodluck!

elbow grease, and a hairdryer/heat gun worked fine for me. get a bucket and make yourself comfortable, it took me a while.
