How to remove badges??
 
I've read several different methods to remove badges, but I'm unsure about what ones to trust.

What methods have some of you done, and the steps you took?

Bug and tar remover good for removing adhesive?

thats also good too, ull need to scrub with your fingers a bit to get the adhesive off as well

when i just pulled all the vinyl off my Civic i used a chore boy dish scrubber lol, worked really well, just make sure your wash and wax afterwards and you'll be fine

Ditto, that is all you need.

I used goo gone for left over glue, and a hair dryer for actual badges.

Putty knife is bad idea Al. One slip and into the paint it goes.

and be careful if you use a heat gun, especially on the plastic body panels. use it on the lowest setting and keep it moving or you could end up causing the plastic to bubble.

Fishing line is all i needed, i had a hairdryer available, but they came off with the line alone.

Instead of Goo Gone, i had a bottle of De-Solve-It which worked great.

And this is done how?

Better yet, WTF are they?

Oldsnut 09-12-2010 05:37 PM

They are the long pieces of trim on your door about 2/3rd's down. It is also done with fishing line and maybe a hair dryer.

whiterider00 09-12-2010 05:46 PM

i wouldnt really call them "guards" tho. im pretty sure they were too narrow and sat flush with the edge of the door. not really gonna guard much that way.

MotorCity 09-12-2010 07:18 PM

goo gone,heat gun, and an eraser

they just stand out enough from the door to prevent someone else's door from crashing into yours. it hits that plastic bumper rail, instead.
