    So I just took off the SR5 badges on the door (stubborn little shits) and most of the adhesive was easy just to peel right off but there is still an outline around where it was that goo gone for cars with a microfiber towel or a warm sponge can't get off. I have lighter fluid but to be honest I'm kind of nervous to use it. Anyway I can get it off without having to go buy anything possibly?

    Couple shocks, some old tires, and a bad paint job
    Sometimes spraying Windex and letting it sit on the adhesive can work decently, but typically it works best for stickers on glass.

    Not this. I stripped my clear coat in a small area when removing my badges.
