sticky vibe logos

So I have had my Vibe for almost a month now and was thinking of getting the overlays for the logos on the doors and the hatch. Today I was taking a close look at them and there is sticky stuff on every one of them. It's almost like something was stuck there and wore off but the adhesive remains. I am thinking there was some sort of protective covering on the logos that the dealer should've removed and it wore off while driving in the rain this weekend. Does anyone know what this could be???Also any recommendations for removing said 'sticky stuff' (lighter fluid, WD-40) that wont damage the surronding paint. Thanks Huskie

Pretty much any solvent you use will remove the wax. Probably your best bet would be getting some Goo-Gone on a rag and wiping it off. I would think that would be the least damaging to the wax job.

Some bug and tar remover will probably also work. Would rubbing alcohol damage the paint? Might try some of that as well.

Rubbing alcohol shouldn't damage the paint...that's what we used when applying my flames and I also used it on the roof racks when I put my GenVibe.com decals on. I used it on the Vibe logos before I applied my overlays too.

LOL Believe me I know...we were kind of nervous when we were putting it on the paint for the flames too...

with my experience of sticky stuff, rubbing alcohol didn't do much, i actually found WD-40 worked well, you just have to wash that area after you use it to remove the residue. The rubbing alcohol is good to remove any dirt particles and wax from your paint in order to apply decals well. but this is just my way of dealing wiht things.

I suggest using the Goo Gone as well. It can even be handy to have around the house for other things so it really isn't a waste to buy a bottle of it.
