De-badging
« on: 22 April 2011, 17:25:27 »
Evening all
Looking for a bit of help.
Just de-badging the car and got it down to shadowy felty characters.
I have tried soapy water and t-cut but neither will shift it.
Any ideas??
Jason  :)

Lighter Fluid will break down the glue and not damage the paintwork.

Use it liberally and allow it to soak into the foam to get to the glue.  It will rub off with your fingers after a few soakings.

Meth's works too, you may notice when it's gone that the paintwork will have a mark on it from where the badges were, this needs t-cutting or similar out, I used G3 compount

i took the badge off with pouring hot water on it and then pulling it off.
For the badge residue, just drove round to the local pump, dab a little cloth on the end of a diesel hose , then wiped off the marks, job done. :y (dont worry the guy knew im doing that, although now wont let me as price of diesel v.high) :D :D
