Debadging hurts- literally, help

Okay now, I got the G35 only off in like 45 minutes. I spent most of the time rubbing REAL HARD trying to get the left over double sided tape off the car. and, while I was doing it i didn't notice my nail actually sorta partially tore off my flesh.

Is there an easier way to do this? I'm not using goo gone cause I can't seem to find it. I got an adhesive remover(duck brand) from target that doesn't seem to be doing anything.

noo noo nooo use seomthing like a credit card something thick and dont rub it too hard to else you'll get scratches on your car.........use the credit card and spray WD-40 on it........it really works well and it wont ruin your car

just keep spraying WD-40 a lot and then rubb and then wipe off wit a cloth and keep repeating it

or scraping the double tape residue off with a credit card?

Goo Gone. And as for items to help you rub the adhesive off...

... don't use anything that you wouldn't polish your car with. If you've got some good towels that you use for Zaino (or other polish), use that instead of your fingers. Just make sure it's a GOOD towel or else you'll scratch it and have to buff it out.

Use heat to warm up the tape and then it comes off easier. Never tried hot water, but should do the trick.

No, as long as you wash it off immediately after the job is done.

Googone and wd-40 will not damage the car. You are safe with using those on hthe paint. But once you remove the emblems you might have some different color areas where the emblems were. You you might need a buff.
