i decided to debadge my car and the badge came off really nice and easy. i was happy about that buy when i looked under the badge there was this huge mess of sticky stuff... ive tried everything to get it off, fingernail, toothpics, goo gone....didnt do anything. im going crazy here.


please help



thank you

 

Get glue be gone or some kind of enhesive remover from auto zone or something

 

rubbing alcohol works, paint thinner works, goo be gone is probably best for your paint. Ummm, rubbing compound.

After you get the sticky crap off, make sure you put some wax on it. You dont want any of that stuff sitting on your paint for any amount of time.

 

Meguire's paint cleaner (w/o the wax) worked for me. Then I used polish and wax to finish it up.

 

heat up the sticky stuff with a hair dryer then just peel it off with a credit card...then goo gone the left over

 

yup, it beats pecking away with a toothpick.

 

thanks guys i got it off. there is some discoloration BUT im going to wax it tonight and ill see how it works out.


thanks

 

goo gone it, let it sit for about a minute, and then wipe away...

then wax after finished, and bam. You're done...

 

This is the only thing that has really stopped me from debadging. I don't wan't to see 3.0CL in darker paint. But using Maquire's pollish would probably do it. I am just chicken I guess.

 

chicken

just do it

i never waxed mine and it turned out fine

 

debadging isnt scary, whats the worst that could happen, you couldnt get the ghosting off? so you rebadge it lol and no1 is the wiser. personally id rather have badges than ghosts lol, ghosts make it look like you got your badges stolen or they fell off somehow.

 

i used laq thinner and compound,after that a good wax/buff and your good to go!!
i had massive amounts of that shit on there too. i thought it would never come off, i was .just put some elbow grease in it!!!

this give me an excuse to post my naked ass(no ghost marks)

 

Damn you got a fat ass!

and those dimples are hot



You gotta love white girls with ass

 

 

Still thinking about it... I even kind of like the badges... But, shit I don't know. I feel like I'm all confused.

 

it look SOO much better with them off (IMO) but im really glad i did it. i was scepticle at first.

 

i used nail polish remover and scrath x from maguire or whatever but is still left some marks if i get it waxed or washed tomorrow will it be good enough

 

All you need is a HEAT GUN

Heat guns make the glue pliable, then just go to town GENTLY with a card of some sort, I used an expired license, just heat that shiz up, start scraping, then I rolled the glue into a ball and it came up in strips.

 

heat guns are best for this. I used a hair dryer to remove the dealer badge from my wife's Accord. It worked great and it left no trace of ghosting.

Still debating on the Mistress.

 

after a couple coats of wax MOST of the shadow is gone but i mean there are some spots with alot of white "shadows" will clay bar help????



thanks

 

wouldn't hurt I have it bad... i guess my paint is just that bad, when i debaged it... some paint came off with it... very tiny chips so i'm kinda screwed...

 

that happened to mine (very,very little) compound is your best friend it blends the paint, if they are tiny you should be able to get them out with the compound the buff/wax finally ride out and show off your sexy ass .....
