Use metho to get rid of the excess glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your car is still there when you return, it would be a good bet that the badges would be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use eucalyptus oil to get of the sticky bits off or anything else like tar. Too much metho can ruin your clear coat eucalyptus oil is safe.
