yes yes before u reply with ERRRRRRRRR USE THE SEARCH BUTTON.

this isnt a straight forward removal.

i used the fishing line and removed it fine, altho i found it not to be not hard goo....but almost glue!...bye glue i mean it is rock hard and doesnt budge with anything i use to remove it. It cant be glue because some of the rear badging is sticky though which has me puzzled. the only thing i havent tryed is tea tree oil.

if this fails...what are my options apart from re-affixing the badges back on.

they are only the executive and V6 badges on my TJ magna

i have also considered a very fine grade sandpaper to remove it..then polish/buff it out.

would this help?

man thats got me buggered?

wax and grease remover? maybe not powerful enough?

what sandpaper would you use? im guessing 2000 grit and over....thats friggen werid why they wont come off, i thought they stuck the badges on with the same thing!

what about bug and tar remover?

I saw a sticker or badge removal kit just sometime back here in Singapore.
But no idea if that is the way to go.

Try some prepsol.
Failing that, carefully apply some thinners and see if it softens up.
A plastic razor might come in handy too.

HAHAHAHA - yeah right - thinners on the paintwork...HAHAHAHAHA

Never underestimate the power of heat. Use either the sun or an artificial source (eg hairdryer) to soften it before removing it. Be careful though as it will also soften the paint if you go too far.

If your car is well waxed you could pour a gallon of paint thinner on your car as long as you dont leave it on there for a couple hours it wont hurt anything.

a friend of mine suggested leaving a soapy wet rag on the section to loosen up the glue to see if it removes it, failing that...ill go the prepsol...failing that.. ill just get new badges :P

Same sorta thing happenned when I did mine... I blasted the lil fcuker with the hair dryer, used a bit of goo remover, and it slowly slowly came off.

Use a heatgun and heat the glue.

yeh id use a flood lamp as i dont have a heat gun (still emit alot of heat) but im too scared to burn the paint...that would be a last ditch resort. ATM its got a wet soapy rag sitting on it... ill give it another look in an hour, if that fails...time for the goo remover i think.

soapy water failed... now gone for the K+H wax and grease remover.. its soaking in a towel on the glue... if this fails... im going to cry :P

I had the same problem with my Solara. A few alphabets of the badge/sticker "SOLARA" was superglued on, probably by the previous owner. I didn't know any better and yanked them off leaving some silver mark from the badge on the paint work. The glue stuff was hardcore. Didn't budge no matter what i applied e.g. thinner etc. Had to spent a few hours scratching and sanding it off. Even then i couldn't get everything off. In the end i resorted to sand off as much as i could and use a little touch-up paint to cover up. Luckily my car is dark blue so it's not very obvious, else....

If you end up using sandpaper (best use grit 2000), make sure you follow up with Scratch X to get rid of the fine scratches from the sanding.
