Removed "scion" rear bumper protector of 2015. Need Advise!
 
I removed the clear "scion" rear bumper protector off a 2015 frs. It left some serious adhesive on the paint. I have tried goo gone, plastic razor blaze and the hairdryer trick and still no progress. Does anyone have any advise!? The car only has 400 miles :(

Plastic razor blade to gently try and remove the adhesive with goo gone? Is that crazy logic? No damage...yet

Dumb question: Why did you remove it?

Elbow greese and time.. it took me about 30-45 mins to clean it all off. I just used goo gone and my fingernails and the Vegas sun in the summer.

Plastic razor blades.. exactly what it sounds like, a razor blade but plastic, so you can scrap off stuff like this with out marking the paint to bad. Unless you just got confused from his spelling? We used them all the time in the body shop i worked at, the rubber disc to remove pin stripes took longer then most times just using the sun and a plastic blade.

pretty sure I used a hair dryer on mine, and it didn't leave much.

Goo gone and elbow grease would be my attempt.

As you should've. I wouldn't want that evil logo on my car, either.

3M Adhesive remover is amazing. Sprayed it right on and it wiped right off! Took about 10 minutes!

Make sure you re-wax that area as the 3M adhesive remover also strips the wax off the paint.

Because the car was waxed from the factory underneath the stupid decal.
