gasoline.

Yup for sure, gas will also melt the glue that adheres the decal or badges on.

Well, whatever you use, as long as you clean it off promptly, it's not going to cause a problem. Plain and simple!

Old people bitch? No way. Say it ain't so.

Now I'm not saying gasoline is good for your paint but how many cars do you see with a fade or rust strip below the filler door. I've never seen it so it can't be too terrible for the finish.

Yup a little Gasoline went a long ways, got all the glue off now to bad my paint had a tiny little bit of fade on each starting word of the badge. Gunna try a little wax to hide it.

other then that my ride looks slick!

Run from brake cleaner.....

Most autoparts stores will sell residue remover, it will take it off safely.
