I just removed the volvo badges off my 850's front fenders and replaced them with sidemarker lights. The old badges left a ton of old dry glue residue around the lights...it looks real bad. My local car wash was nice enough to spend about 15 minutes on it with a pressure washer and everything, but there is still some left. The car is a '96 so this is some old glue were talking about...

Anybody know of a good product that might get this off my car?

"goof off", but go easy on it since it will take off everything. including that blondes thong :grin: just put some on the rag and place over the glue for a count of ten, then just rub it off with the same rag. clean with soap and water.

You might want to try a non acetone nail polish remover.

Try WD-40. Seriously. If that doesn't work, and you don't mind spending a few bucks, find a local autobody supply place. They'll have some really good wax/adhesive remover that is paint safe. Or, hit the local body shop, toss the guy a few bucks if he can get it off for you.
