    you could go to any paint product shop and ask for prepsol which is a tar and wax remover which gets sticky residue off aswell

    i used eucy oil & metho spirit. i found the metho to work better.

    the key is to let it soak into the gooey stuff - then rub it off.
    n do it bit by bit, i.e - start from one corner, n work ur way through.

    it took me less than a minute to remove the badge, but half-hour to remove the gooey stuff!!! fark.
