blk05crew Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Nice, looks good! I didn't know the vinyl could come off those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggerdan11 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I dont know if this has been mentioned before but be careful if you use the 3M Adhesive Remover. When I debadged my Tahoe I accidentally got some of it on my taillights and they turned white, and I used the 4" focus pads to try to remove it, but it never came completely out. So if you are using the adhesive removed around plastic parts like tailights, make sure to tape them off so you do not get any over spray on them.

Chewy Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I bought one of the generic (non 3M) erasers on Amazon to do my RAM when I get it. I went to install my summer wheels and forgot that I needed to remove the old factory sticky from them which was leftover from when I had the new tires installed. I whipped out that bad boy, put it on my cordless drill and BAM! It took probably 15-20 seconds per area and there was NO trace of them. LOVE IT!! It's made by AES and IS made in the USA!!! Maybe Adams needs to sell this brand! It's half the cost of the 3M ones I saw.

[ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00488DDB8/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1] Sorry....not used to this new forum, and haven't been online for awhile, so I screwed this reply up.... I'm going to bump this thread. Thanks Chris. Just washed my neglected truck tonight, and noticed all the gunk/grime around all the "SIERRA" badges on the doors and tailgate. That stuff is going soon, with my Cyclo and used Flex on the way the truck is going to get some much needed attention. I ordered up one of the AES eraser wheels.

Hot_Wheel Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Ok... That Eraser Wheel video scared the crap outta me! I was cringing to see the after-effects on the paint. But, of course Dylan is a BOSS, so there was no issue. If that we me.... Well, let's just say I'm not using that..... My son debadged the WRX with dental floss instead of fishing line. It worked great. I keep going back and forth about whether or not to debadge the "Camaro" above the Hot Wheels badge on each side. I actually had the heat gun in my hand at one point, but changed my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blk05crew Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 If your only taking of letters or emblems, you don't even really need the eraser wheel. Take them off with some fishing line, then just warm up the residue with a heat gun or hair dryer and then use your thumb or index finger to rub the residue off. Then use some Goof Off or 3M Adhesive remover to wipe away anything left and then apply some polish and wax once it's all off and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggerdan11 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I figured I would post up my latest de-badging/de-molding experience, and show you guys what could go wrong. You could de-badge one of your moldings and find bubbling paint underneath it. My body guy says it looks like the door was repainted, but done very poorly Or you may remove some molding and find a huge dent underneath Or you may screw it up somehow even though you have done it a bunch of times before on other vehicles, and scratch the crap out of your paint: I have officially decided my days of de-badging are over! IDK what the heck happened I somehow scratched the paint using the same exact techniques i have used many times before. So now I have 4 doors that need to be fixed. I can either have them re-painted which will be expensive, or I can fix the dent and rhino line the bottom part of my truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
