Debadging Question


Recommended Posts

Posted

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.

Is your Goo Gone old? The light ends may have flashed off and won't cut the crud.

Yes, it's a bit old. Still seems to do the trick on everything else though.

Goo Gone for me, and shop towels.

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

This is exactly how I Debadged and demolded my truck. The eraser wheel is worth getting along with the rapid remover.

Eraser wheel won't scratch your paint. Goo gone on a microfiber applying constant pressure and wiping is a different story.

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!

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! :)
