Emblem Removal???
So I just got my 2001 TT. The P.O. had installed the GT 2 emblem on the rear. I took the heat gun and heated it up nice and warm to remove it but when it starts to come off....it wants to leave the nice thick foam adhesive backing on the car....so I stopped. If I continue....the letters will come off and leave the backing.....whats the best way to then remove the backing without harming the paint?

On all my vehicles on use the heat gun and dental floss for badge removal and then goo-gone for adhesive removal (carefully)
After that I just wax up the area and ...... POW - done.
(You may need to rub/pull off some of the thick adhesive before using goo-gone)

Dental floss, goo gone, clay, polish, wax.
