I took off my front emblem on the front bumper today. I used 3m adhesive and wax remover for cars to get the rest of the sticky adhesive off. Luckily, I used it were the other emblem will cover because it peeled the paint right off. Either our cars have super crap azz paint or this stuff is way to strong. I think our paint sucks. You cant see the spot were the paint stripped from thank god. Be careful with any product made for car paint as I think our cars were painted with finger paints.

Hmm
What do you think there?
Directions say will not dissolve or mar automobile paint that has been properly aged...
also suitable for vinyl or glass surfaces. Sound pretty safe. Not for our paint apparently..

I have used it and no problems.
I used on the rear hatch, and I think the problem is the front bumper and the very thin clearcoat on it. When I first got the car I polished it with Klasse and started to notice the rag started to turn blue so I think I rubbed the clearcoat right off. I have not had any other problems because I installed a clear bra so no more contact with the paint.
