dont mean to be annoying and bring up old question ( how do i debadge my car?) but i thought i saw a guide for it somewhere..can any1 help?

to put it quiet simply...

use fishing line or dental floss to cut between the badges.. use a hair dryer to heat up the sticky glue/double sided tape if needed..

scrape as much of the sticky stuff off with a plastic scraper and then use a weak dilution of big kevs goo remover to get the rest off.. Use a good polish to shine up the surface and finish with a wax..

thats how i did my lancer, not sure if its the same method others use

k thanks

I have done a few write ups on this but cant find the threads right now but this is it basically as was stated before...this was how i did it (I had no guide)


Used a hair dryer to heat the glue under the badges (careful not to melt the plastic coating of the badge itself) bit by bit then I used plastic scrapers (4 for $5 at a paint shop) to lift the heated badge bit by bit, re-applying the heat, then lifting gently until the badges were off. The flexible badges you had to be careful not to stretch (if you wish to keep the badges of course) and the hard badges you had to be careful not to break or split. I did split the tri-diamond badge a little but it was pretty old and worn anyway. After I removed all the badges there was a lot of stubborn glue still on the paint work... I bought K+H Wax & Grease Remover (aka prepsol) from Repco and applied liberally with a clean rag, carefully used the plastic scraper to remove stubborn/hardened lumps of glue then once the glue was removed, washed the area and gave it a cut and polish.

I have heard that using very thin fishing line or floss and eucalyptus oil does the trick also.

i will give it a go tommorrow..mods feel free to close this
