Emblem Adhesive??

I believe that's what TrailBeast and George were talking about Karl. The residue that remains is yellowed and doesn't scrape off easily, but it's a very thin layer too.
You guys are probably right on the money for a suitable factory style replacement. Thank you all!!! Muahhhhhh

The three basic solvents are:

water
rubbing alcohol
mineral spirits

One of those three should help break down the sticky residue and remove it. Try a little in a hidden spot first for a test. You may need to let it soak in a bit to break itk down...
