Camaro emblem MELTED all over paint - How Do I Get It Off?? I recently purchased a '99ss that is pretty much mint. Only one minor issue...the clear (epoxy like) finish on the Camaro emblem melted in the hot Florida sun and the car cover smeared it all over the nose of the car. I'm wondering if anybody can suggest a paint safe solvent, or technique to get it off of my otherwise perfect red paint.
So far i tried 3M adhesive remover just cuz I had it on hand, but it did absolutely nothing. My next thought is to try to soften it up with a blow dryer or something.
Anybody else ever had this happen???

goof off or lacquer thinner. but lacquer thinner will require you to buff that area. we use it to remove road paint, tar, and tree sap off of cars. just use the lower # thinner, we use #5. it will work quickly but has the downside that use need to buff it. a pic would help tho.

this happend to my brothers camaro also, i guess it just got to hot from the sun. maybe you could take it off and use 3M double sided tape so it wont happen again. good luck on the clean up
