Nah, badges stay on johnny... it was probably just road grime or road tar that baked on over the years.

 

Didn't get time to polish it up, but completed a huge majority of the work of getting those little stubborn farkers off the car... takes pushing a flathead screwdriver behind 8 layers of folded cloth to get the right amount of pressure to get 'em off without scratching the paint... painful process and took a long time to get them off.

 

There's still tons of tiny tiny ones that just won't come off unless they're scratched off, so they stay.

Missed a spot. A big black spot of hot melted rubber....

Tar remover should dissolve them nicely, if that's what they are.

 

I have hundreds on my car.  Probably a few thousand.  Mainly below the rubber strips and on the rear.  Bug guts go on the front and mirror scalps
