    I want to remove my SR5 badges but I am worried because my 4Runner is black and it is a 2015. How bad would the ghosting be? Any advise? Thanks

    Unless you’ve completely neglected the paint it shouldn’t be noticeable after a good wash/wax.

    I just bought the car used from a dealer but it appears to be in great condition. I think I am just going to go for it lol. What’s the worst that can happen? Thanks

    Soak a paper towel in goo gone and tape it over the adhesive by using a plastic bag to hold it in place...so you're actually taping the bag. Let it set for about 30 minutes and it should just wipe right away. If that doesn't work then use your car key to scrape away all the ghosting. That also works like a charm.

    I used an old hotel key card to pry it off and some WD40 to remove the remaining glue after 2 washes it's completely gone. I did this when the car was only a few months new though.
