Use what the body shops use.

Diluted acetone.

Otherwise buff it out with polish.

Where are you located, I'm sure I can find a detailer to help you out.

or you could, you know, just drive the car and not fuck it up swapping one badge for another...

:lol: @ the trolls that dont think this is a Subaru car with Toyota backing, all badging aside; OP how comfortable are you with sandpaper? Ive never seen someone manage to screw this up but I think its time to get out the 2500 grit wet sand and polish

I used my finger to rub off the residue from Subaru badge, but gave it a lil too much elbow grease and somehow heated up skin and it folded over on itself.... So i unfolded it n bam, there was a bubble/blister, lol....

On BRZ badge I used eraser wheel used at my shop to take off pinstripe for bulk of adhesive and GENTLE rubbing with finger.... Then used quicker detailed to give it a lil shine....

Learn from my mistake!! Lol

Try some rubbing compound (refer to link or use a bit of 3m rubbing compound) . If that doesn't get it out then wet sand with 2000 or higher grit sand paper and follow up with this ish: http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotiv...mate-compound/

This crap works wonders for me makes the paint super glossy like new and improves the clarity.

Paint the entire car yellow. I want to see a Yellow FR-S. Signal Yellow Pearl would be nice.

Both?!? Lol ... I looked at my finger and it was one of those "how bout that" moments.... Looked at BRZ badge and thought better of it. Luckily I work at a body shop and just grabbed what I needed...

Man.. that pic almost looks photoshop'd.

If it is real, then that sucks! I have the same color of car and used Goo Gone, and everything looks perfect.

:bellyroll: I saw that too. My first thought was "I wonder if goo gone would sting on my junk? Probably a terrible lube."

I use wd-40 and warm days to debadge. Never had a problem using goo gone other than it didn't seem to work very well.

People- DO NOT use Goof Off on paint! It contains xylene and other powerful solvents and is easily capable of removing paint!!

Guess I got lucky :thumbsup:

Used it on mine and all looks well with the world. All things in moderation, ol' chaps.

Get some 3M rubbing compound and use some elbow grease.
