Debadge with 3M ?

Can someone tell me if this stuff is clear coat safe?

 

Here is a link I found:

$19 3M Adhesive Remover, Helps Remove Tar, Attachment Tape & Bumper Sticker Adhesive, 12 oz., 1 aerosol

https://www.amazon.com/3M-03618-Adhesive-Remover-oz/dp/B000BQYA7W

Seems to be fine on automotive work, and clear coat safe, but the reviewers seem to like spraying it on a cloth first then applying. I have never actually used it though.

 

I would be wary of directly spraying onto your paint.

Soaking onto a rag and then area of the body makes it less abrasive.

And if your debagding your truck, using some fishing line will "cut" behind the badges that have the same 3M taping holding them on the body. After that use the rag and place it right on top of the sticker left over. Once it soaks in use a plastic scraper and it should slowly come up.

 

I have also used the "rolling the leftover adhesive off with your thumb" method, and that works quite well. Granted, it IS a little hard on your thumb, but you won't accidentally scratch your paint...

 

We skipped the 3M remover and went with the roll-with-your-thumb method. Then we used Meguiars ScratchX to clean up the area. Worked like a charm.

 

I used a hair dryer to soften the adhesive, then used the thumb method.

 

Same here, after the Scratch X I put a couple of coats of wax on the truck. I debadged the truck using kite string

 

Debadged my entire truck .. used a hair dryer and heated up emblem really good and then used 8lb test fishing line to work back and forth in a sawing motion between emblem and truck. Once done i used thumb to roll off what i could then used a micro fiber cloth with some goo gone .. then when i was done i gave it a good coat of duragloss and buffed with a clean mf cloth. Was easy and turned out great

 

Goo Gone here also. I did use a very light rubbing compound after then waxed.
