Default emblem removal

I just removed my SS and chevy emblem from the CAMARO rear panel and I was wondering how to get the sticky left overs off?? I used a blow dryer, but it didn't work that well obviously. Anyone know?

alcohol would not be the best to remove tape (although it's not bad for the paint just as long as u use isopropyl alcohol). alcohol seems like it would be good (being alcohol and al), but it doesn't remove adhesive as good as you'd think. however, if you do use it, you'll just have to re-wax, because it strips everything. i found that lighter fuel works well, WD-40 works well too, and carb cleaner does a nice job, as well. these don;t damage the paint or clearcoat either. just make sure after using any of these products, you re-wax.

Goo Gone is what you want. doesnt hurt the paint and it straight up just eats that stuff. all you do is wipe it off with a rag, trust me.
