- In this video I show how a cheap eraser wheel will work just as good as the 3M eraser wheel. Here's the one I used:

Best video I have seen on this. Simple and straight forward.
Thanks Robert! Appreciate it.
I used the 3M and removed all the stripes on my motorhome no issues whatsoever no residue I recommend it it’s worth the money..No heat gun would even come close to the damaged cracked decals I had this was the perfect solution
Amazing video and very good advice. Thanks from South America.
U dud awesome! I almost tried to scrape it off like the other videos suggested. U got 2 thumbs up from me ! My side moldings are a pain and i want to take it off of my 2011 silverado LT. THANK YOU.
Thanks for the video Nick definitely picking up one of those wheels from Amazon I’ve been putting off debadging not wanting to deal with the adhesive part.
Yeah it seems daunting but the wheel definitely solves everything. Really impossible without it. Good luck 👍
Thanks for the video Nick :) Cheers Don, Perth W.Australia (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)
Thanks for this Nick. I just did my 2011 Silverado the trims were started to peel away. The residue from the tape was a bugger but I think I will go this route for the rest of the trim. Ottawa Ontario Canada.
Tom, how did the paint look after the removal was complete? My trim on my 2013 silverado is coming loose and I'm wanting to remove it like in this video. My truck is victory red and I'm wondering if there will be newer looking stripes afterwards due to paint fade on the rest of the surface.
Tim Gray: As you know, red paints are notorious for fading. How well did you removal work out?
great video man thanks im buy one for my race car and clean up the door window glue for the moisture seal.
Recently replaced the side moldings on my 250 OBS. The 3M wheel is just under $60 here in FL now so I gave the knock off a try. One wheel did both sides and there's still about 25% of the wheel left, no harm to the paint. Money well spent.
$60?! Damn that’s serious.
Princess auto (harbor freight ) has them for $7-$11
The 3M wheel worked awesome $30 or $11 Ainokea as long as da bugga worked and was actually quicker and easier then a lot of the videos I saw on you tube, plus my truck is black and looks like nothing was ever there.
🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I've tried both the 3M and the knock offs and I'll take the 3M anyday. Knockoffs wore down after removing 2 company vehicle decals and I'm on my 4th vehicle with the 3M wheel and I still have 70% left. Well worth the $$ in my opinion.
I think people buy the 3m brand because it's the brand part stores carry.
Replaced chrome badges for black badges, cause truck is black. Used that wheel, hair dryer, fishing line, and rubbing alcohol. Did the job just fine
Great video, thanks Nick. If you think 3-letter "RAM" is annoying, I'm about to try removing 11-letter "BRONCO sport" from the lift gate.
Hahaha 👍
I'm trying to remove "countryman" from the back of my mini, lol
Thank you, bc I really didn't want to spend alot just to finish off one side of my truck.
Absolutely brilliant tool perfect for the job ! Are you replacing them with something else or are you leaving it clean ?
I don’t think I’ll be replacing these. But you never know. Thanks Justin.
$30 , $11 as long as it worked I’m happy 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
The way the dealer does is heat gun then dental fross diped in alcohol wrap dental fross two fingers and like a saw goes through the adhesive no mess no expensive tools no erasers. we use decal erasers on decal stripes.
Doesn’t work like that on anything that’s been in the sun. You’ll always be splitting the double sided tape, so this wheel removes that half of the tape that’s stuck to the project.
That’s not how all dealers do it. The halfway ones may, but any professional uses a wheel.
I just got one on amazon for 7.99 worked great
I rebadged my car with 3m adhesive, which is far worse than the original adhesive on the car. I debadged that with a hair dryer, dental floss, and goof off in 20 minutes. I bought nothing. I had floss (obviously) and a hairdryer, and goof off already. I would rather heat it up than risk scraping my paint. The goof off finishes cleaning the smeared mess no problem.
Thanks man !
will this also work to remove old pin striping
Right on Nick, thanks for the video, I will be removing cracked vinyl striping, yeah fun! 🤪🤮
Will it work on graphics and thank you
Would this wheel work to remove 3M tape residue from glass without damage?
Have you tried the "fishing line" method to initially remove the lettering, then go to the eraser to remove the remaining residue. No heat gun is needed.
Also, will the eraser work on glass without creating a haze on the glass?
Use a heat gun to make the fishing line cut easier, then take your fingernail and clean the bulk of residue off, then hit it with the wheel, I’ve done 9 trucks on one 3m wheel still has 80% life left in it
Nick try my product TakeOff Adhesive Remover to remove the adhesive residue. Will not hurt the surface. Will like to send you some samples.
I know this video is old but yes if you are just doing a simple badge removal then yes buy the cheap wheels. If you are doing large decals or do a ton of decals then spend the money and buy something of better quality. I use probably 100 wheels a year removing decals for replacement. The 3M wheels last a lot longer. I also have the purpose built pneumatic tool just for them. A cheap wheel is fine for quick jobs like taking your ram decals off. If you are doing large jobs then you need better quality.
I bought two 3M wheels, one from Amazon one in person, and both were missing the adapter for the drill…. 😂 they need a better way to package these things
I did my 2012 black Tahoe just a section about 8” and can’t see from a distance but you get close you can see where I passed it almost look like residue with hardcore sun swirls.
Black is tough, especially on 10 year old paint. Probably need to swirl remove it and polish it. Thanks GL 👍
@@NickMango that’s what I’m going to do probably get chemicals guys starter polish kit and see how that section looks before continuing.
Can you use rubbing alcohol instead of denatured or are they the same?
I don’t think so. I think I remember googling that and it said it would damage the paint.
Do you have any advice on what I could use to help blend where I took my badge off? I debadge my suv but the outline of my decal kinda still shows through.
You used alcohol? If so maybe a light compound. Real light at first especially if it’s an older car.
gotcha maybe I’ll try alcohol. It’s a 2012 I’m surprised the outline shows thru as much. Thanks for the help.
Nick, i don't see the link to this wheel or your plastic tool link. i'm new to youtube...where do i find it.? Tom
There’s a description section you need to expand. If you’re on a phone there’s a little down arrow to the right of the video title. Click that and it’ll expand. Thanks
Nick, looks like the black 2500 is popped up on the hood in the first part of the video. Was this before you added the two sided tape?
Good eyeballs! It was before. 4 videos later I did the tape video. 👍👍
@@NickMango I only noticed it because I had already seen the tape video and I was hoping it hadn't come off again. Just got my 22 Tradesman and I'm reviewing all your videos... Thanks for all the info!
I think construction adhesive and clamps would be the next thing I do if it pops again haha. GL 👍
I just got 1 on sale for $6.99 original price was $16.99 so saved $10. I needed 1 to get the decals off a camper trailer. I have to get the decals off so as to be able to paint the trailer roof. Now what will it cost to make some decals like the 1s that were on it hmmm? There was no way I was going to pay for a wheel that cost up to $40 plus tax and shipping.
You might be just the guy to answer my question. I bought a '93 Gregor aluminum boat. The factory decals are about 14 inches X 4 inches and are really, really faded and checked. I bought a decal remover (not the one in your video) from Amazon and wore that thing to a nubbin trying to remove them. It didn't remove so much as a square inch of the decal itself, much less the residual adhesive. Will the wheel in your video be effective in my case, or do you know of a chemical remover that might be more effective?
Wd40 spray the hell out of it then use a rough rag. Like one of those cheap ones. Or a plastic scraper. If that doesn’t work try Acetone. GL
If you do a badge you don't need a good wheel.
if you do racing stripe removal as a detailer.. you definitely need the 3M wheel. Tried the cheapest one to the most expensive one ... pay thy money if you do this for work
I buy the 3m wheel locally for $20. Watch buying those cheap wheels on line ive seen them scratch paint. Also cutting the letters off with fishing line is easier
3M makes the best stuff. Cheap knockoffs often chunk or flat wear down faster. 3M is proven superior, period.
how many % alcohol are you using?
Will this work on water decals and vinyl bumper stickers?
Sure yeah. I bet you could use wd40 on it though. Give it a shot. If not, wheel it off. 👍
Yes. I just talked to a guy who owns a vinyl sign company. He said he uses the 3M one to remove old signs off of vehicles.
fishing wire is way faster and just as safe to remove emblems.
I did mine with no heat gun and it worked perfectly fine
Really, what did you use?
Dude, you have the voice of Peter Griffin, in a good way. You could probably capitalize on that in your videos.
so i just did this to my black truck and now the hemi 6.4 is still faintly visible in the paint....any idea what can get rid of this? is that something that buffs out? its noticable that a badge used to be there.
I’m not sure. Maybe a little swirl remover. Like a light compound. Nothing crazy. Give it a shot let me know how it goes.
@@NickMango I used a little bit of a product called scratch out. took all of it off! thanks
Awesome! Those black vehicles show everything. Glad you got it looking good. 👍
Make sure the panel is metal and not plastic first!
Don’t use on a plastic panel
It’ll burn thru it!
Lol plastic panel. Oh how I despise these new vehicles.
Work in gel coat boat ?
Can I use isopropyl alcohol?
No you can’t use that. I believe it’s bad for your paint.
Wow a generic eraser wheel.
Great content... never would've thought I didn't need to spend a zillion dollars on a wheel
$6 shipped on eBay.
The more expensive ones are just to reduce the chances of you burning the paint the cheap ones work just as good in the right hands
I'm going to turn this video into a drinking game. Every time he says "$11" you drink. We're going to end up on the floor!
🤣🤣🤣
Bet he couldn’t end up on the floor for less than $11!
Lol.. not what I expected. Good tho.
Very good demo, but how can you dismiss the 3M product without trying it? The cheap versions are excellent on a small decal as shown in your video and work very well. However they are alot slower than the 3M product on large decals such as the ones I tackled on the side of my van. I am not sponsered or have any affilitaion with 3M in case you were wondering, but the title of your video is very mis-leading. I did one side of my van with a cheap version which took the decals off, no damage to the paint and was as you described in your video the way to go rather than using scrapers (I tried that as well). It took over 4 hours though and the wheel was done before I finished. I tried the 3M version, same results except 2 to 3 times faster and less wear to the wheel. You pays your money and takes your choice. Cheap wheels are ideal for small decals or even a pinstripe, but not cost effective for large decals in my opinion
Appreciate your comment. I think it kind of proves my point though. This cheap wheel get the job done and you save money. I’m not saying the 3m is bad. I’m saying you don’t need it. Thanks 👍
I've never NEVER HAD AN ISSUE, with just using soapy water to remove the residue..
The low random badging on the door looks so idiotic, ram lol
The 3m leaves no residue
They all can leave it. If you look at the 3m reviews on Amazon you’ll see people say it. Check out the 3 star ones. “Removes decals, but the residue it leaves behind is as messy to remove as the original decal” Jared C Tomseth. “There’s a residue that’s still there and I don’t want to use it anymore.” Sam S.
I don’t get it. Why debadge? Gotta be a reason, but I don’t see it.
Great question. Let me ask you this, why leave the badging on?
@@NickMango Because it’s there?
@@kenmohler4081 lol I actually thought we were going to have a good debate about this.
@@NickMango Well, I appreciate that, Nick, but I just can’t come up with much to say about it.
Haha It just looks better without the badging. That’s why people remove it.
9.99 lol
TH-camr 'Gander Flight' tested the generic eraser wheel vs 3m vs Horus wheel.....yes 3m was the most expensive but the fastest and cleanest.
So if time and efficiency are important then 3m is the way to go.
this is the link to the video th-cam.com/video/7Y_2DYBwoTU/w-d-xo.html
Yeah I’ve seen this video. If you watch mine to the end you’ll see that it takes about 90 seconds to completely clean off the RAM adhesive. Going any faster than that is really unnecessary imo.
You cqn burn through your clear coat very easily withthe heatgun or the wheel. Your better off taking it to a body shop, leave this type of work for someone with experience. Or you could hVe a expensive repair, at a body shop, where you should have gone any ways. I was an auto refinish tech "painter" for 20+ years and dont do this. When you customize any vehicle you only made it more valuable to yourself and to a very small intro people but the average public you've devalued it
you are soooo right
The knockoffs do not compare to the 3M wheel
