Thread: Debadging Help!!

I started to debadge my GP on the trunk lid. Is is supposed to take 20-30 minutes?? I am using fishing line to cut off the badge and using adheseive remover to remove the glue. Is there somthiing else i am missing or am i good?

A heat gun helps to loosen the glue. But yeah, it'll take some time.

I just use my man hands and pull really hard lol

Use a hair dryer.. A heat gun can get hot enough to harm the paint...
I used a hair dryer and some fishing line... Went pretty quick.. Then after it came off I used rubbing alcohol and got all the adhesive off. Then I waxed the BAjesus outta it.

Is the rubbing alcohol better then aadhesieve remover?

Its about the same. I used goo gone.

I'll tell you the easiest way. It took me 5 minutes per badge. All you need, is a hair drier, floss and polishing compound. Heat the thing up for a minute or two, take floss, cut the glue, take polish while glue is still warm and micro fiber towel, BAM. All gone and all done. Easy peasy. Results speak for themselves.

I'm going to go do this right now, but I don't know if fishing line would work on the dealership sticker..what would you guys recommend for that?

Heat up the badge and just pull on it gently. You can use something that is plastic and soft enough so that it doesn't scratch your paint. GooGone works great for the left over adhesive.

razor blade and a steady hand.

took me like an hour but i finally got all the badges done! The hairdryer helped a lot!

If you're talking about inlays, just heat them up and use a blade to poke them and peel them off.

plasma cutter will work too.
