debadging trick

[rolakers]

There use to be a thread on here with a video where the guy was debadging a Subaru but I can't find it anymore.
I wanna debadge my new car and I forgot how he did it. I remember he used dental floss to get the emblem off then he sprayed it with Simple Green I believe and out a hair dryer to it, and it made the goooey stuff easy to come off.
Is this correct?? Does anyone have any tricks that make this process easier?? Last time I jst used me nails and my fingers were hurting for 2 days hahaha

dental floss or fishing line.

I got a 96 civic EX but im not sure if I wanna debadge it... It looks cexah but would it look cleaner?

Maybe Ill just take off the Civic and EX Emblem and leave the H?

Good idea... The H has two holes behind it, so "shaving" it is a little more difficult..

i used a stolen hotel key and WD40 to get the sticky stuff off.

i used goo gone and a library card.

Thats actually a good vid. I might do that to my next ride.

i used dental floss and goo gone. then clayed the area and waxed it. perfecto. had to go to a body shop and get the "H" out though.

they also make a piece to stick on a drill to take off the emblems glue it leaves behind, i forget what its made of but you can buy it at places that sell body shop stuff.......

 

[Slept-n]

i got lucky, mine came debadged when i bought her, i think it's extra clean with the "H"

Dunno about goo gone on paint, I use 3m adhesive remover.
