Debadged.

Debadged and removed the annoying dealer sticker this afternoon - badge came right off with some heat from a hair dryer, although it took some work getting all the adhesive and residue off. But some Goo Gone, my thumbnail and some elbow grease had it taken care of in 15 minutes or so.

I really like how it looks without the badging, it's much cleaner and sleeker.

did you reseal and wax afterwards ?

 

[mrobison12]

I didn't, light was fading and I called it a night. I'm tackling that today.

You may not even need the fishing line. Might not even need the heat. But it wouldn't hurt. Little heat and pull

Just with outside heat and wiggle them around?

That's what I've done before but I've also had to use a hair blow dryer before as well for a little heat. Don't heat up one area for too long though.

I used a hair dryer back and forth for a couple minutes and then just wiggled them free. Using floss or fishing line would probably have resulted in less adhesive residue for me to scrape off, but the badges themselves came off without too much effort with the heat alone.

i did mine today, took about 5 minutes.

What i did:

took my driver license and slightly pried the letters up, then with my finger i just pulled on the letters and let the adhesion pull off on its own. Basically i was pulling on it but not with enough force to rip the adhesion. it doesn't take much longer then just yanking it off, when it comes off there's no pieces that you have to scratch off with your nail etc. After everything was off there was a slight haze. I took some scratch x 2.0 on a microfiber and buffed it for about 30 seconds. and its perfect.

you need to seal and wax it since you used scratch x

 

[GreyMatter718]

i don't believe thats mandatory right away, next time i wash i will wax it.

So my idiot brother in law who swears he's the best in automotive things, debadged ny car and chipped some paint.

I was wondering what I could do so it won't start to get rusted and start chipping?

I just picked up the color match paint at the dealer comes with clear coat. For now. Suggestions?
