Default RE: removing a badge

Actually, I would be proof of the dental floss. After reading a couple posts and I decided to try it myself. I have a dealership badge on there, which is annoying by the way.

I took normal floss and dug into the tape. All I did was take about arm length of string and pretended I was floossing my teeth, but instead the backing of the badge. It took a couple strings, but about 5 minutes later it came off. I had some excess tape, but I peel with my thumbnail, then cleaned the surface with a touch of PineSol.

Badda-bing Badda-boom, no more dealership badge. (For Ref: It was about 82 degrees outside and I used cheapo floss).

I hope this helps!

you should never use a heat gun...especially if you are in a rush!!

if you aren't experienced with a heat gun, it is extremely easy to hold it up too long and just when you think it's still good, you will take the gun away and about 20 seconds later the paint will start to bubble
