Goof off takes the stuff off - and the paint, all the way down to the plastic. I had to re paint the front. Please dont repeat my mistake.

I returned from Franklin determined to remove the badging.
I hooked my finger nail under the letters and slowly pulled them off. Then I dabbed goo gone on the remaining tape. I used my finger nail carefully to remove the majority of the tape and then more goo gone for the last little bits. Rubbed it with only the skin on my finger.
After that I could see the outline / shadow of the letters in the paint. It really showed in the sunlight on the Black paint. I pulled out the car polisher and some swirl remover and buffed it out. Then waxed as usual. Looks nice now. I did notice the same shadow on the tail section and realized I had forgotten to buff that out. All's well now.

Goof Off and Goo Gone are two entirely different things
. Like you, I have found Goof Off extremely aggressive and, as a result, I find very few uses for it. It definitely should NOT be used on our soft paint

Yup, been using Goo Gone for year and it works great with no negative effects on paint.Yeah,
Cool Hand Luke pointed me in the direction of these car letters @ http://chromecarletters.com
I bought the black chrome Mercedes Benz letters. Bought 6 pieces to put "F6B" in place of the HONDA badges on the front fairing and back deck. They were fairly inexpensive. Would post pics, but haven't found the time to debadge, wash, and apply the new letters yet.
