Best way to DeBadge a car?

[Kompressor]

Just use dental floss or what?

[Dios]

fishing line works too if ur detal floss keeps breaking

[Clay'87IS]

Use dental floss and goo gone. be sure to wash and wax the area pretty well afterwords...

[daa328]

Yeah just use dental floss, then goo-goe to remove adhesive, wash area, and then coat of wax. Next time try using th search engine for very popular questions like this, because it has been beaten to death.

If you use too much Goo Gone, will it harm the clear coat?
A coat of wax should completely redeem it, right?

[richieio]

i used fishing line to get the badge off. then i used 3m adhesive remover to get off the gunk. then i washed and waxed the hell out of it.

looks great.

If you use too much Goo Gone, will it harm the clear coat?

I dont think so. Just dont empty the bottle on it or something stupid like that. As long as you wash and wax afterwords you'll be fine.

A coat of wax should completely redeem it, right?

Yeah. Id go with two.

Any time you must use a solvent on your paint, try to remember to let the solvent do the work, not pressure and hard scrubbing. More damage is caused by people taking goo gone or whatever else they find... putting it on a rag, then scraping the hell outta their paint because then goo didn't come right off instantly.

Remember that if the solvent is making progress, even if it's slow, just keep rubbing lightly and adding more solvent to keep it wet until the goo is gone. It takes a little longer but when you're done you won't have dulled your paint as much or scratched it either. Usually you don't even know you're scratching the paint because there's goo and solvent guming up the area, the scratches appear after you're done and you've dried the area... then it's "OMFG!!!"

why dont you just take the molding off, and then go to a body shop and have them use an eraser on it. either their detailer, paint prep or even painter will know how to do it, without damaging the paint. thats what they are made for. then wash and wax the car, tadahhhhh!

Credit Cards work too, just slowly cut inbetween the car and the badge with the card i did it too weeks ago when dental floss kept breaking

[Fire_OpTiKz]

try a credit card if nothing else works kuje raddy said.. or lisence

[TheWiseGuy]

First of all make sure to wait a little while for the goo gone's solvents to completly evaporate. If you do not and you put a coat of wax on, you are essentially sealing all of the solvents in on top of the clear coat. Make sure that you wash the car imediately after applying the goo gone then let the car set for a little bit. I would suggest to buff the area slightly with a swirl mark remover (low abrasiveness). Then throw a coat of wax on. Secondly if you use a credit card I would put a strip of electrical tape on the edge to not scrape the paint at all.

i used my finger nails with paste wax to get the sticky stuff out.

again, i used my finger nails to pry them off on hot sunny day.

easiest and cheapest way is to just peel the badge off and use a hairdryer to heat the stuff left on the car and just peel it off.

[rondal]

heat gun and fishing line, then heat gun and a plastic razor blade to take the majority of the goo off then goo gone on a rag for the rest of it.
wash and wax the area tho after
