For taking off the goo on emblems, try a wire wheel on a drill. Real light pressure and make sure you wear saftey glasses. The stuff seems to want to end up right in your face. Once it is real close then switch out to wax and grease remover and scrape the rest off with a razor blade.

Is this "urethane wave" ?

Those body side moldings look great. We ended up buying a tank to soak ours in at work just cause they are so labor intensive to clean. Before you remount your moldings and emblems get some adhesion promoter for double sided tape. 3m makes a little foam pad with the promoter in it that works real good. They should run you about a buck each at your local jobber. You want the promoter on the molding and on the panel itself where your mounting the molding, if not you will probably have issues with them staying on. Transtar also makes an adhesion promoter that comes in a bottle with a blotter on the end but that runs about 20.00 a bottle. Way more than you will need for one vehicle.

I used the little 3M foam pads and the 3M adhesive tape. Didn't apply the AP to the paint, only the molding. Directions said to clean the painted surface with isopropyl alcohol. Those things are stuck on for good! We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
