    Sorry about the blank reply.

    Dental floss. Just get it started behind the emblem and work down. You will probably break a few pieces, but it will work. I took all the emblems of my pickup and the wife&#39;s Tahoe this way. You can then hit the gooey residue with a little alcohol.

    If it&#39;s thick enough you can grab it with pliers once you have a corner lifted and just pull it off. A 3M stripe-off wheel on a drill motor takes the glue and foam residue off without damaging the paint.

    jethro let me use his sticker shock, and a small piece of plastic with a sharp edge. never once scratched the paint, took everything off, except the chevorlet. might do that later on.

    you can get sticker shock at autozone, and 3m remover at home depot.

    The 3M stripe-off wheel is only available to auto paint stores, I believe. They are about &#036;20 or so, so be prepared if you decide to go that route. It will last you a long time. I&#39;ve done three vehicles with mine so far and still have about 1/2 of it left.

    i just meant the spray. what is the wheel you are talking about? did it work really well? that sticker shocked worked pretty good but its almost out, and the vatozone here didnt have it.

    The 3M stripe-off wheel is just like a big eraser the buffs the adhesive off the paint without damaging it. It&#39;s like a white rubber eraser mounted on a spindle that you mount in a drill motor. Its about 4" in diameter and does one hell of a job.
