Take a look at Hammer's Debadging DIY, he goes over removing the residue. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...our-truck.html

I checked around my local parts stores and no one had one or seemed as if they had any idea what I was asking for. Anyway GooGone doesn't do much. But with a lot of work using a wooden paint stir stick and plain old 87 gasoline I got all the badges off in about 3 hours. Actually modified my early Hemi badges by removing the Magnum and remounted them on the fender at the 08 fender location. I like the new look.

If you can't find the 'eraser' for Hammer's method I'd pick up some 3m General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner, it works pretty well and it is safe for paint. I used that to ease the removal of my badges and remove the residue after, just soak it down with the remover and rub it off with a microfiber cloth (this was before I knew you could do it the way Hammer did, his way is much easier).
Here's what the stuff looks like:

Just another option here...if you have a badge that fell of or if you are painting your badges you really don't have to remove the factory adhesive.Just go get some 3M emblem adhesive and it will stick right back on and with the old adhesive its easier to put it right back where it was. The proof this works is my truck for example. One side of my truck and the tailgate is done this way. I painted my badges and went through the whole deal of removing the factory adhesive the hard way, cuz at the time I couldn't find a eraser wheel, then I read on here where a guy did his badges with the 3m adhesive so I tried it on the rest of my badges and it worked great. I did a friend of mines truck that way also and the badges are solid as a rock. Now if you are removing or moving the badges then I suggest the eraser wheel or the 3M adhesive remover. I found the eraser wheel at O'Rielys.
