what did you use to remove emblems?
I got the stingray emblems off with a heat gun, and plastic scrapper. My problem is the adhesive GM uses. I have tried bug and tar remover, different waxes, but cant seem to get it all off. Any specific products that worked well for you?

Goo Gone works.

The black GM stuff is tough ...take your time, keep it wet with goo gone and work it with your finger, right side came off easily, left side was a bitch....

I used WD40; works like magic and won't harm the paint.

I took the Corvette script off the back side of my C7 using 3M auto adhesive remover. Worked 10 times faster than Goo Gone and didn't harm the paint or clear coat.
You can buy it at most auto parts stores. Use it in a well ventilated area- it'll get you higher than a six pack of Jack Daniels.

I use PPG grease and wax remover. I will usually tape a piece of cloth to the area, then saturate the cloth to keep it moist. After 5 or 10 minutes, I'll then start removing the adhesive.
