Some may know this trick and some may like to know

Citrus dissolves double side glue and adhesive on the back of moldings and emblems.

also removes the glue left behind after removing vinyl

here is a few pics of a JEEP emblem soaked in citrus

you can see how the double sided tape just fell off and wiped clean

Nice. Is that lime juice or something you buy special?

Saw this a few months back on one of my wood conservation tech. bulletins. It's being used on antique woods and metals. If conservators are using it that's a pretty high recommendation.

Compared to your time trying to get that glue off, I'd say it is a value product.

Thanks for the lead.

If it's just the "citrus" component that does the trick, you can buy citric acid, in powder form, very inexpensively. You only need a little ( a couple pinches)
to prepare a quart of acidic solution.
