Hey guys, I'm back again but this time its about removing the rear emblems (or debadging, whatever the kids are calling it nowadays). I took the badges off already and got most, if not all, of the adhesive off. The thing is that there is still the outline of the badges of my car. Being that my car is 20 years old I expected it to have some dirt and outlines but I haven't found any ways of getting the outline to go away. Is there anyone who debadged their car that can help me find a solution. I took my emblems off to replace/respray them but I wanted to remove the outlines as I won't be putting all the original badges back on. If anyone can offer some advice or recommend things I can do to make the outlines go away then I'd be really appreciative.

That's all part of buffing and polishing.
 When I removed mine I ended up going through a five step process in that one area. It was a lot easier than when I had done the whole car.

Lol yeah some people (my friend) who de-badged his car thought when i told him to buff it, that i meant to just pull it off and wipe any dirt off. Then to use a pad and compound to rub everything out. And it ended up with really bad scratches all over since he couldn't see the scratches till after he wiped the compound off lol. |
