Hello. It's me again, Margret.

I'm adding some sidemarkers to my awe (and fire) inspiring electrical system. By the by, this is a 1989 760 with the dreaded V6. I bought the car with one of the logos off already, which was half my descision to add sidemarkers. Time for my question, how in the WORLD do I get that bloody glue crap off?!? I spent a very good portion of last night working on the one that was already off with a gift card. Please tell me there's a chemical that will eat my skin and remove the foam without damaging the paint.

Thanks abunch for any assistance.

    Try citrus-based solvent or 3M spray cleaner/adhesive remover.

    Gasoline often works really well, and it's readily available. It doesn't eat your skin that fast, though. For best results leave it on your hands until they dry out and crack. I usually use it to get adhesives (trim adhesive, foam tape, etc.) off of car finishes. If the paint is cracked/cracking, or the clearcoat is giving you problems, this isn't really the best avenue. If the paint is intact, then go for it.

    Wash the gas off when you're done, with a HOT solution of detergent and water, or wax and grease remover if you can get some. That way you're assured not to harm it.
