need help debadging

ok so i got the emblems off but now i have this problem



what do i do to get rid of this

 

i used rubbing compound to get the gunk off, also goo gone will take that off pretty easy. once you have done that take some polishing compound or wax to even the faded paint with the relatively "new" paint that was underneath the badges and you should be good to go

 

goo gone

 

If that residue is the adhesive, get a clean rag w/some Diesel on it & rub it down good, if its still some decal material get a heat gun (be careful with it ) & a plastic spatula gently scrap it off this worked for me....

 

can i use hair dryer instead of heat gun

 

If it gets hot enough i don't see why you can't. It's basically the same thing. I was orginally told to use a hair dryer to get the emblems off.

 

ok and maybe u can help me with this i need to change the lights that are above the rear view mirror in the 1st gens but i cant figure out how to get the cover off

 

Yeah, if you have one that gets hot enough, mine didn't so heat gun was used & like Justin said a light grade of compound will clean things up, wash wax after, as far as the 3rd brake light goes I took mine off , 2 screws on the lens, but pain in the ass to change the bulbs....

 

i was talking about the map lights inside but i fugured it out

 

Sorry dude, my bad....

 

i used paint thinner on a clean rag and scrubed it off then wiped down the area with another rag soaked with just water to get the paint thinner off before it set in. i tried getting it off with goo gone which works fine its just time consuming.

 

Mineral spirits works also

 

ha i will try these hopefully they work my dad is kinda pissed at me right now for doing this haha so i pray that is comes out ok

 

I used WD-40, a rag, and elbow grease.

 

ya i have tried the wd-40 it didn't work its not the adhesive left its just like a hard outline of the decal. idk ill figure something out

 

dont worry itll come off, try the paint thinner man but just make sure to clean the area after you use the paint thinner. i felt the same after i took mine off and seen the mess that needs to be cleaned up

 

GOO GONE. DO WORK!

 

I just took mine off about a week ago and to get the adhesive off i used my finger nail and to get the left over residue off I just used windex and alot of elbow grease..... I'm sure goo gone would work but I didn't want to spend the money if I didn't have to.

 

haha ok that makes me feel better i must just need to scrub away for awhile. im to impatient

 

goo gone 5 dolla speciaaaalll
