Das Borgen Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I know the general process behind removing a badge (apply heat and use dental floss) but I just don't trust myself to do it anyone care to lend a helping hand? I got beer and can provide food thanks in advance just removing the M3 badge from my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 It's easy, get some "goo gone" (Kroger, meijer, Giant Eagle carry it in the cleaner section) for the left over adhesive. Then re wax once clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Easy as hell. Screw dental floss, just grab a plastic spatula from the kitchen, heat up the letters/whatever, and use the spatula to gently lift the item up and continue to heat it. Within 1 minute, it will lift off like an egg off a non stick pan. You won't scratch anything. I've done every car I've ever had this way. Little goo gone or even gasoline on a rag and wipe off the remaining residue. Wax it up afterwards. If leaves any "shadow" or stain, it will will fade over the course of a week or so. My MS3 has Pearl White Paint and the body moldings left a very faint yellow shadow for about 1 week. 110% gone after that. Inside Joke, ask Ben/Nighthawk how good I am at De-baging cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can help out, no problem. Call my cell and we can work out a time. I've been working around the house today and getting ready for lunch with the family but can break away for a bit. My wife has to go to her office at 4pm, but we can do it in my garage if you're good with that. 614-795-4907 cell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna happen. I think the car looks a lot different in person than it does in pictures. I don't know why, but it does to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
