Debadging Tips

Looking for some tips on removing some factory emblems.

I'm thinking a heat gun and some carefull prying?

I've heard the dental floss works well, to cut the adhesive...

Then use a good cleaner wax, or better yet Meguire's Ultimate Compound (don't use ANYTHING else...) and that should blend everything right in.

Or fishing line

That I have lots of and the way braided line cuts flesh I bet it will do the job. The minute CopperMtGuy said floss my mined went to piano wire for windshileds and fishing line as well. thanks guys it just takes a kick to get the mind of a 4x going.

cheap fishing line then eraser wheel then wax. I took emblems of a wrecked truck in about 30 seconds pretty easy with the fishing line.

Step 1 is to be sure the adhesive is warm. The hotter it is the easier it will be to floss through. Next step is to floss it off, I used dental floss. After it's removed just use some Goo Gone to clean up the mess. If your removing the Dodge Emblem Badge, it has 2 pieces that actually stick out and go into the car. Floss around them as best you can then pry off carefully. May want to use heat gun as your prying.

I used some 30lb test braided fishing line and like a dope it started cutting into me. I sprayed the badge with some WD-40 and wrapped the fishing line around some dowels and within 6 saws the braided fishing line had cut the badge right off. WD-40 finsihed up any leftover adhesive and there is not a mark on the paint. Thanks everyone.

Make sure to put some wax there....

OK the De and Re Badge to the one that Dodge Should have made.

Looks great....I've always loved that color....

What's that logo on the bottom left corner...under the Durango badge???

The Dealer where I bought it. He's a great friend so its staying.

That's cool... I can respect that.

Looks awesome Mbroggi1...one of my favorite durangos here.

Very nice

floss, string of some sort and goo be gone is what I use

Eraser wheel will remove the old adhesive

I like it and if anybody screws with yah give em' the hemi power.

I use a nice summer day, and an old credit card to lift an edge.. then I use my finger to pull it off slowly.. then goo-gone to get rid of the extra residue, then wash it.

If you're using a heat gun be very carefull as it can cause your paint to bubble and what not.. a hair drier might be a better idea...

Cool! I don't plan on taking any off. I would like to get some of the ones AK1 got at a show. I just need Magnum instead of HEMI.

My ride is de-badged and de-trimmed, all I ever used was WD-40, plastic puttty knife, rags, and some elbow grease. WD-40 eats adhesive and doesn't mess with the paint.
