    I recently remote my 5.7ltr iFirce badges and have a bunch of thick adhesive left where they were. I tried a blow-dryer and nylon scraper but it's pretty thick.

    Anyone have some advice how to attack this thick adhesive without damaging paint?

    Thank you

    This will do the trick, just be careful. It can possibly mar the paint of you don’t take it easy. Try Goo Gone first, then move to this if necessary.

    Stock, for now
    When I removed mine, I got most of it with just a hot gun and a nylon scrapper. Then, believe it or not, I got regular gasoline (yes gasoline) in a syringe and started putting drops on top. Little by little it got removed.
    Don’t forget to wash that area and reinstall your sealant, wax, or whatever you are using as a paint protector.

    I recently removed a LOT of adhesive from my Chevy. This wheel worked great if the adhesive was not not too thick. If it is really caked on, I found that the goo just ended up wrapping around the wheel. In my case I used adhesive remover and a soft scrapper to get the bulk off and then went down to the paint with the wheel. As others said be careful to not over rev it in one spot or you will mark the paint.

    A warm(er) and sunny day helped too. Just 15-20 degrees made HUGE difference.
