Big kev's goo remover

[Fredo]

I took the civic badge off my ek sedan and i am now left with an outline of the word civic which i am unable to remove.

It's not the paint faded but where the double sided tape used has gone very hard and will not come off, i've removed most of the residue with tea tree oil and have also tried kero but to no avail.

So i bought a bottle of big kev's goo remover but on the bottle it says it can remove paint. so has anyone used this on their cars paint to remove goo?????

if this doesn't work what else can i try????? :!:

I used Big Kev's goo remover to remove the crap under my Honda dealership sticker and my Bombers membership sticker. It worked a treat - but that was glue crap on glass...

meguirs paint cleaner works well

[SPEEDCORE]

Why on earth people are suggesting to use abrasive cut and polish compounds and cleaners is beyond me!

Acetone is what you should really be using. Use it sparingly on a clean cloth.... take your time with it.... it will slowly come off without damaging the actual paint though you might still have a ghost of the badge from the surounding paint fading.

WD40 does the trick for me, works great on tar too.

[bigteethygrin]

tar and spot remover should do it. if ya need more industrial then use wax and grease remover.. but make sure ya give a real thick coat of wax after ya done as your paint will be raw as afterwards.

Wouldn't acetone take the paint off

[MR-VTEC]

nup acetone is the way i did mine also. using it sparingly on a soft cloth works wonders. i just grabbed the girlfriends nail polish remover. didn't damage the paint.

Only problem is most nail polish remover these days is Acetone Free...... because young girls where finding it easy to knock themselves off with it!

HA funny shit

I use a method that no one seems to have recommended anywhere, but I SWEAR it is the perfect solution, yet doesn't damage the paint (it gets rid of some of the top layer wax, but the clear coat is safe.)


The answer is.....

















Clothing Stain Removal that you could get from the supermarket.
If it is safe for your cloth's dye, it is definitely safe for your car's much thicker paint 8)

Very luckily it just manages to dissolve some rubber marks and tree saps, after around 30 seconds these would come off, and the paint reverts back to what it should look like :)
