whats the easiest way to remove them without hurting the paint. i have crappy gold faded ones that i want to replace with chrome ones. but done want to screw up the trunk paint.

 

to remove the emblems, heat with blow dryer, then slide fishing line behind them to cut through the glue.

to remove the glue, soak with goo-gone or some kind of adhesive remover, then scrape the glue off with a credit card and wipe with rag.

afterwards wax it a dozen times.

 

 

ya i did that basiclly.. but had a problem since the paint was faded a bit it left a "ghost" of the emblems.. i got my local car wash buddies to buff that part out and got a haze.. CLpower hooked me up last weekend n polished it, and you can barely tell the side ones had the image. and to think, 3 body shops told me i had to paint the whole trunk it looks fine. good luck griff.

 

If you get ghosting, do what I did. Get a claybar kit and claybar it a few times...it's worth it.

 

clay bar?

 

claybar is one of god's finest creations...for those who don't know what it is, it's a bar of clay that cleans beneath the surface of your paint and gives it that new car baby's ass soft feel...pepboys $10-$15....my car's paint was like sandpaper due to neglect when i got the car...then my friend told me about this and it worked wonders...just get good wax afterwards

 

Word from the wise: if you drop the claybar on the floor PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE kiss it up to God and just throw it away...don't use it again...

 

ya man i did it last weekend.. comin home it rained and yesturday it rained all over it.. i wiped it down with a towel looks like it didnt even get touched since sat.. clay > *
