Hey guys
I recently bought a C% and the prior owner had put a few add on's on the car that I want to remove.
The first I was able to handle, the corvette lettering on the rear had silver letters glued in the recesses. A couple of the letters were not adhereing too well. I pulled them all off and used WD 40 to get the residue off then rewaxed the rear.
The problem area is a plate with the HP engine size etc was glued to the ashtray lid.
I tried my WD 40, Alcohol, and Goo gone. The alcohol worked best but I cannot get it all off and I am afraid I will ruin the finish on the lid.
Any suggestions?

If it's double sided tape, the heat and/or some denatured alcohol or the citrus cleaning products should remove it.
If not, put an ad in the classifieds or check EBAY. The ashtrays are now fairly easy to find.
