    You simply are not letting the GG sit long enough and tried enough times.

    Did you do the tailgate? Any pics? I'm not crazy about having Pride & Prejudice back there, but I also wonder if that big, wide, flat surface would look funny bare.

    Whatever you do, dont try the wheel that myself and other members have reccomended. Keep wasting your time with compounds and goo be gone and continue to post how it doesn't work.

    GG and rubbing compound worked great for my truck, car and bike's emblems.

    To remove adhesive or when old adhesive don't want to get off, I usually use a little bit of gas or diesel on a rag cloth. Usually goes away with a few rubs. Then I wipe the area clean.

    Watch out if you do it on plastic, though, because ethanol in the gas can sometimes leave the plastic a little faded where you rubbed

    I got a similar wheel to the one you posted and no luck. It's the clear coat not adhesive

    Eraser wheel ftw! Read it many times and finally tried it. Home Depot or Amazon. Its magic! Just hit it with some wax afterwards.

    Did just that and unfortunately the mark is still there. It seems to be the clear coat not residue left from the badge. I used this method on the tailgate and that's perfectly fine, no evidence of anything there

    Damn. I guess ol fashioned elbow grease... And maybe some beer... Is the answer. Maybe combine some cleaner and eraser wheel? Or poor beer on it :D

    Even that didn't work. I ordered some decals from a member on here for the doors, just waiting on those to come in
