    I`ve used it to to remove the adhesive from some old pin striping...also on a Honda... I tried Stoner`s Tarminator too. Both weren`t great but I eventually got the job done. I though the problem was more a fact the stripes were 8 years old vs the product not being very good.

    Having plastic razor blades to help scrape off the goo as it dissolved helped too.

    Your Honda Paint is not an oil base paint.. It also says "Damages...., some automotive paints"...

    I have used your product only with a q-tip on artillery fungus or other tree saps to remove just those spots and wiped off quickly after wetting just that spot with the wet q-tip end..

    It has never damaged paintwork of all marques in this manner.. But I also have decades of experience using this... This does not mean it is safe for doing a lot of cleaning with it either..

    If you have some plastic razor blades, I would spray a cleaner made for adhesives on a spot, get it really wet, let it sit for a bit, and then carefully see if you can "move" it off with that plastic razor blade.. Know that this plastic razor blade may mark up your medium to soft honda paint, ok ?

    Or, how about putting the adhesive remover on a spot, heating it up quickly, not too long or hot, with a heat gun, and then see if it can be removed with something even a clean towel first, since that is the least potential damaging to paintwork, and then if not the plastic razor blade...

    Heat and alcohol worked best for me.

    Re: Emblem fell off

    Yeah I know it is not oil based that’s why I was a little weiry of using it
    Heating it up with alcohol or the adhesive remover sounds like a good plan to me
    And proceed with caution Lol. I will shoot some pics when I’m finished
    Thanks guys

    Re: Emblem fell off

    When I had my Camaro I removed the Camaro lettering from the front fenders with fishing line(of course yours fell off but) and to remove the left over adhesive rubberized backing I used a hair dryer(not a heat gun) and warmed it up and rolled the stuff off with my thumb and fingers. I did use some alcohol to help with some of the glue residue. My fingers were a little tender but that was 6 letters each side. I would not recommend letting alcohol and any other type of a glue remover dwell on the paint/clearcoat to long as that may soften it. When I was done I lightly polished it and waxed it. It was a lot less of a headache cleaning the fenders without those letter to clean and wax around.

    FWIW, it`s easy to overdo the heating when using 3M Adhesive Remover, flashes it off so fast that I quit doing it. Instead, I find a way to prop the saturated application medium against the area so it gets a good long dwell time.
