Emblem and Decal Removal / De-Badging

[dbs600]

Anyone remove your Colorado emblems?

 

If so, any recommended tips for best practices?

 

ALSO:

 

How about removing the ZR2 decal too?

 

I imagine with a hair blow dryer and floss for the emblems, but not sure about the decal.

 

Thank you!

But basically, I just used dental floss in a sawing motion to remove the emblems, then some 3M adhesive cleaner I got at Walmart to get the adhesive residue off the paint. I'd also suggest you use very soft cloth to remove residual adhesive, like a soft micro fiber, instead of a regular towel or paper towel, which can scratch surfaces.

 

I got the 3M remover because when I first used Goo Gone, it didn't work that well and I rubbed too hard and scratched the surface of the clear coat a little. The 3M stuff seemed to work better.

 

Afterward, I cleaned re-waxed the applicable panels, and they look good.

 

Sorry, didn't remove any decals yet, so can't comment on those.
