SilveradoSaver Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Really a simple question: What do you guys use to get the adhesive glue off the truck when you're debadging it? I have done this before and just used fishing line to get most of it off, then Goo Gone and it worked like a charm. For some reason I'm having a pain in the ass getting the "Silverado" off both my doors tonight. I got 95% of the glue off but seem to be struggling with the little bit thats remaining. Any tips? I don't have a polished/buffer or I'd probably just use that. Thanks guys.
O_J_Simpson Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Is your Goo Gone old? The light ends may have flashed off and won't cut the crud.

Abearclaw Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 As a detailer the absolute fastest and easiest and safest way to remove emblems is a simple heat gun, fishing line and then use a 3m eraser wheel for the heavy left over adhesive. Follow that up with rapid remover. It is 10x better than boopty a$$ goo gone. And then depends on the condition of the paint and any etching from dirt around the emblem but you can go ahead and polish as needed. Couldn't be easier, takes about 5 minutes per emblem All materials especially rapid remover available on Amazon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

cbrsilv15 Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Eraser wheel won't scratch your paint. Goo gone on a microfiber applying constant pressure and wiping is a different story.
SilveradoSaver Posted March 6, 2017 Author Posted March 6, 2017 Thanks everyone. The step that I forgot vs. last time I did this was the heat gun. Oh well, not the end of the world and I've gotten most of the gunk off now. But great ideas for the remaining stuff. Appreciate it!

SilveradoSaver Posted March 6, 2017 Author Posted March 6, 2017 I had to take my truck into the dealership this morning for some warranty work and they said their detail department would take care of it. Perfect!
