Default Debadging problem

I took of my civic and EX badge off with dental floss and goof off, but there is still spots with hard glue stuck on my car that I can't get off. What can I use to get it off?

i had the same problem with the "civic" badge....and i can tell u wat not to do. DO NOT use a felt tip on a dremel, its soft and fluffy when its at a standstill but u get that thing spinning around.....it gets hot. I learned the hard way.......burnt my godamned paint right off....so now itstead of a badge....i got a burn defect lol Goo gone and a rough rag worked fine to take the "DX" off jus dont rush it.....or ull regret it....

Yeah... get it hot first and use the goo gone... I used rubbing alcohol but I tested it first to see if it would strip the paint... it isnt as good as goo gone.

You have a nice looking car love the fogs, where did you get them? I would love to see the rest of the car. (IDEA!) photo gallery.....
I know i dont have one, but you have done a lot more to your car than i have to mine, so i think if you have some time it would be cool. just my opinion. but good work on the fogs.

dont use a razor blade, just a word of advice. I was stupid once and did that. I slipped and took a big piece of paint off. Luckily I just bought a new badge and it covered it up perfect.

i used Mothers car wax to get the goo off. just wax-on wax-off for about 5-10 minutes depending on how much goo. can't even see a thing- even up close. looks like the badges were never there.
