Need to remove the dealers emblem after I bought a car from them. Had no idea and then came across this. Worked flawlessly. Saved me so much time and headache. Thank you!
Great video and spot on. I have done this many times over the years and rather than using the power tool eraser on the residual glue… I apply a liberal amount of “ Glue Begone”…. let it sit for about 5 minutes and wipe the residue off. It does not harm the paint at all and after washing/drying the area, I apply a wax and good to go. My two cents.
Great video. I've been using this same method for years. It's especially helpful if you also want to preserve the emblems (they can be expensive to replace or impossible to find). One difference: I use the eraser on a random orbital. It works great and doesn't leave as many swirl marks. It also takes decals off with almost no effort.
There is another way to remove the glue residue that works for me. Warm up the glue with heat gun then use some real sticky tape like Gorilla tape and apply it over the glue then pull off the tape. The residue will separate into the tape and with a few reapplications works quite well.
This is the correct way. I use this method (sans heat) when removing all the damn stickers from new laptops that I buy for my clients. You know the ones, they're usually next to the track pad. Your laptop probably still has them.
This is a pretty good vehicle. I like the way this guy appears to genuinely care about his quality of work and taking care of the paint. My only problem with this video is that he could've mentioned how some Goo Gone would've probably been a less invasive approach that would've worked too.
googone generally isn’t good for this type of adhesive. It just makes it messy and spreads the adhesive to places you don’t want it to be and makes cleanup really difficult
Just wanted to say I removed my EcoBoost badge a couple days ago, and Goo gone was pretty much useless for this application. I tried it and since I didn't have any research wheel, I pretty much just use the thumb method. Which really sucks!
I’ve done the goo gone method. It leaves that oily residue that needs to be thoroughly washed off. This guy’s method looks better to me. That eraser wheel looks like a good idea.
One important thing (other than not using knives) is to make sure when using the heat gun, don't hold it over the paint too long. I think when I was removing the small emblem the dealer put on my car, I only held the heat gun there for about 2 seconds, then pulled, and repeated a few times. And I think for most, you only need a heat gun that gets up to 300-400 degrees for removing emblems. Decals may need higher heat. In my case I didn't even have to use dental floss but rather tweezers gripping the emblem from both sides was enough to wiggle it off (didn't even touch the paint). Of course larger emblems may benefit from dental floss if you can't grip them with something.
Thanks for the floss idea... just bought a brand new car yesterday and was planning on using a heat gun & fishing line to remove the lettering, will definitely use floss instead 👍
But first a quick word from our sponsor, nord vpn, and if you are new here please subscribe and click the bell notification so you don’t miss any new uploads, hit the like and leave a comment below. Now let’s get back to the video after the add 😂
I have an 08 and I'm doing it today. I love the look of a clean trunk. I'm basically giving it the HP of the Evo with the off-road capability of the ralliart.
Here is Australia the use of the heat gun / hair dryer is optional if you do it in summer. Just leave the car out in the sun for about 20 mins and the bodywork will be hot enough to use the dental floss method. Once the metal bits have been removed, a bit of 100% Isopropyl alcohol on a rag will remove the adhesive residue. Alternatively, a dab of eucalyptus oil works a treat with stubborn residure but test it on a concealed area first. Then wash the remover away with water asap. And clean and polish area according to need after that.
STORY TIME: So, I was all set to go buy some fishing line, a heat gun, and an adhesive eraser wheel, but when I pulled up to Home Depot I realized I’d left my card at home. I was gonna go back but when I got home I decided to wash the car b/c we just had our last rain for a few days. When I was drying it I decided to try to just pull the letters off b/c it’s 75° and humid outside. The first letter came off fine, but I didn’t want to keep using my fingers, so I decided to give this thin paracord I used for making a bracelet. It worked like a charm on the “Altima” letters, “Nissan” decal, and the “SL” letters so easily. B/c I didn’t heat anything up I was able to peel most of the adhesive off with my fingers. For the left over I grabbed a microfiber towel and poured a quarter-size amount of extra virgin olive oil on it. Yes, olive oil 😂 I rubbed off all of the sticky part left over and most of the dirty and grime from being the letters and decal came off quite easily. I took another microfiber towel and dropped a quarter-size amount of Dawn dish detergent on it (b/c that duck commercial compelled me) and made little circles until it was completely clean. I rinsed it w/ some water, gave the trunk another wash and dry, and done! No heat, no tools, no harsh chemicals, no damage, and no dollars spent! BOOM!
3M company makes adhesive remover out of a spray can that works well with removing sticky residue. Lighter fluid can be used with a rag in a pinch. Great video!
Great video the only part he left out was the warning with the heat gun. a lot of people who have never used one are about to have melted Trunks and bumpers. those things go 0 to 100 in a second. be careful kids you will incinerate your paint if you dont 😆
I bought a 2002 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab Sport, all black, new from the dealer in December 2001. First thing when I got it home I removed all of the vinyl badges from the sides and tailgate. With a hair dryer it took me less than 30 minutes. Likely this easy because they were on the truck only a few weeks. Once they get baked on by the sun it's quite a bit more work, and more likely to show as the surrounding finish would have faded some. By the way, I still have with only 62k on it. Turned out to have been a good buy.
I parked my truck in the sun and debadged the sunny side. The metal heated nicely and I didn't have to worry about blistering the paint with a heat gun. Turned the truck around and did the other side. I used Goof-Off on the shaded side to remove the adhesive.
I have found that simple WD40 removes double sided tape sticky residue really easily. Simply spray and after a few seconds wipe with a piece of kitchen paper or soft cloth.
Aye ive used wd40 for yearsss to remove the remaing pad left behind i use a micro fibre cloth or a 100%cotton cloth with wd40 leave it for a couple mins then remove with another cloth, and use some extra resin polish to finish simples
Another way to get rid of the adhesive is Tea Tree Oil or Eucalyptus Oil. Apply it to a clean microfibre cloth and wipe the adhesive off, it’s also effective for getting road tar off and excellent for cleaning headlights
A really simple way that worked for me is I used a fishing line and the writing came off really easily. Then rubbed the adhesive off after letting wd-40 sit on it for a few minutes. Took me maybe 5 mins of rubbing and then bam looked brand new.
This is a very good and easy to follow video….. but I’m still unsure whether the whole goal is to damage the paint or not. Maybe clarification is required.! 🤔
I did exactly as he did on this video. Bought the eraser for about $7 on Amazon. Everything went perfectly. Btw, I used a hair dryer. Thanks for the vid!
Great video! My body shop put a 17 inch Sierra badge instead of the 10 inch badge that goes on the lower right corner of the Denali tailgate. Unbelievable that they didn't realize the difference!
WORKED thanks!!!!!!! BRAND new car my dealership put a METAL badge on my car w/ their dealership name etc.. NOOO they didn't ask.. sorry but that's no bueno. I heated it up for 2 min like U described; used dental floss (which broke) so I grabbed a 4 inch long piece of weedeater string. I held the hair dryer w/ my chin while moving the weedeater string along; boom OFF! Remained: some BLACK./ TAR like sticky substance. To remove: I used spray wax, and microfiber towel; still some did not come off; so I used a tiny bead of rubbing compound. Boom off.. Then I waxed the small area w/ ceramic spray wax. PERFECT. that was only being on there for 4 days!!! I couldn't imagine a long term grip! esp with the Texas heat. Luckly I removed it w/ in a few days of ownership! ZERO damage... thanks for the tip. Hopefully my tips help others too.
Great instructions, thanks. Do you observe the toning of paint difference under the badges and outside? Or is the color 100% accurate everywhere? Thanks.
Great explanation! I want to remove the badges, paint them black, and then reapply them to my 2008 Toyota 4Runner. What's the best double-sided tape or adhesive to use so the emblems don't fall off? Thanks!!!
I removed my badges with 12# test fishing line. I just let the sun on it the other day in March. Then I rubbed the adhesive off with my thumb and removed excess with “Bug and Tar” remover with a micro fiber cloth. Bug Be Gone will work too
A good idea is to take a photo of the badge before starting and take a note of position/ spacing - otherwise you will really battle repositioning properly & correctly.
I was wondering if you could use Turtle Wax Adhesive Label Remover then go by the instructions. It works great on the regular auto label. It was a very simple method that was easy and didn’t take long to do it.
Ok, here’s an idea I would really like you to do because I’m in this situation. My vehicle has accent paint sprayed on the original paint job. What’s the best way to remove the spray paint accents they did? It’s chipping off too.
the info and overall video are awesome. thanks. the last step you say "apply cleaner wax" but grab and apply the bottle of "fine cut cleaner". was this a visual typo or are both the Meguiars products super similar?
I watched a lot of tip videos before i startet debadging my car, but then i remembered an old army trick. We used shaving foam to remove face painting and that works great✊🏻 i shoaked the tape in shaving foam and let it stay for 3-5 min. Tape went of like a charm👍🏻 almost no glue on the car. Hot tip🦾
I own a 2023 Nissan Ariya. I want to black out my Ariya emblem. Should I spray primer on it first before I spray paint it black? Once done, how will I reapply the emblem? Use cement glue over the existing double sided tape?
the tooth floss did a great job removeing the badge i used warm soap water in a spray bottle to remove the sticky crap.allso i did not us a heat gun it came of easy just with the floss
Please tell people at the end of your fine video to check your letters and emblems with your fingernails or plastic knife they may easily fall off like all of mine did, glue came off with light roll of my thumb great video
I've been wanting to do this with my Honda Element. Wondering if an actual eraser would be easier, since it's much less bulky & it has to be in constant motion anyway when you use the tool. I suppose we will have to put it to the test.
@@dot7107 when I worked at the auto body shop customers brought their cars in with emblems on them. They expect to have the emblems back when they retrieve their cars. Also, some folks here like the emblems on the car. I'm sure not everyone in EU are like you who don't want the emblems on their cars. I watch videos everyday where I see emblems on cars in your neck of the woods.
I have a new C8 Corvette and want to remove the rear "CORVETTE" badging. The badging is attached to the paint in some places but attached over the center stripes in others. Do you think the stripes will withstand the eraser or any other type of adhesive removal technique? I am concerned I will damage the stripes that were factory applied.
I know I'm late to this one, but another good way to heat up the panel is to park the car in the sun on a hot day. Worked several times for me. Then I use something like Goo Gone to remove the last sticky stuff.
Hi sinclair, I did not see my question down below. I am just painting my badges and putting a 2 part clear coat on them. Do I have to take the adhesive off if I am using new 3m tape and putting badges back? Nice video. Thanks in advance! 😀👍
Can you do this on an old classic horn button? I want to get it rechromed but the plastic button wouldn’t hold up in process. I’d like to remove without destroying.
I have the X5M competition and want to remove all model/name badges from both interior and exterior. How do you do about removing the X5M Competition badge from a carbon interior center console - without losing the finish on the carbon trim that lies underneath? I would like to remove the badge and keep the nice, consistent finish of that glossy carbon trim. Thanks, J.
Assuming we follow the same technique for removing the remaining adhesive, what’s the best way to first remove the dumb vinyl stickers put on by the dealer, obviously without damaging the paint? Heat and a plastic spudger maybe?
Faster more efficient way is to heat it, and use a PLASTIC razor blade or a plastic card and remove each letter and 99 percent of the adhesive at the same time. Then us GOO GONE to remove the remainder of the adhesive. Goo Gone will NOT hurt the paint. The method shown is too slow. And that eraser wheel, like a heat gun, in the hands of someone who is impatient will result in damage to the paint. Spin that drill at high speed and not move it for a few seconds and see what happens.
My car is relatively new (it’s a 22 which means it was probably made toward the middle to end of 21) and is mostly garage kept so hopefully it won’t be hard to remove. The decal I want to remove is just a little 1 x 1 square and I plan on using fishing line and then goo gone and then I’ll buff it. Car is black so there’s guaranteed to be scratches that’s why I’ll buff. Wish me luck.
Taking the SE badge off my car. Why Hyundai thinks I want everyone to know I bought the base trim is beyond me.

the tooth floss did a great job removeing the badge i used warm soap water in a spray bottle to remove the sticky crap.allso i did not us a heat gun it came of easy just with the floss
Please tell people at the end of your fine video to check your letters and emblems with your fingernails or plastic knife they may easily fall off like all of mine did, glue came off with light roll of my thumb great video
I've been wanting to do this with my Honda Element. Wondering if an actual eraser would be easier, since it's much less bulky & it has to be in constant motion anyway when you use the tool. I suppose we will have to put it to the test.
Awesome vid. Ty. Gonna do this to my excursion and then put a lot up one to it!
Just want to add: you can put duck tape over the emblems to keep the letters spacing the same. Makes it easier to put it on.
Good idea
One question, why on earth u are gonna put those back?
@@dot7107 When you sell the car
@@MrAlexParks LOL! Here in EU area when ordering a new car u can choose with or without badges, it is so common to take those hidious stickers away
@@dot7107 when I worked at the auto body shop customers brought their cars in with emblems on them. They expect to have the emblems back when they retrieve their cars. Also, some folks here like the emblems on the car. I'm sure not everyone in EU are like you who don't want the emblems on their cars. I watch videos everyday where I see emblems on cars in your neck of the woods.
I found windex gets rid of excess adhesive pretty well
I have a new C8 Corvette and want to remove the rear "CORVETTE" badging. The badging is attached to the paint in some places but attached over the center stripes in others. Do you think the stripes will withstand the eraser or any other type of adhesive removal technique? I am concerned I will damage the stripes that were factory applied.
What is the best way to take dealer decals off of my car?
What about the older cars where the badge is NOT using adhesive, but are sort of rivetted into the body?
You're fucked
Great video, direct and perfectly done!
Thank you so much! This worked well for me.
Great video!! Thank you
You're welcome!
Using adhesive remover is much easier.
Will it affect the glaze and paint? If not, where can I get it?
Wd40 on a rag will get it off
Goo gone, goof off, wd40
Nicely done mate. Many thanks.
United Nissan puts their badge on their cars out hear in Las Vegas. It makes the car look ugly , glad to see there is an easy way to remove it.
I know I'm late to this one, but another good way to heat up the panel is to park the car in the sun on a hot day. Worked several times for me. Then I use something like Goo Gone to remove the last sticky stuff.
Damn I will try this 😂 never used a heat gun but I want my car debadged and don't want the paint damage
Coconut oil works great for removing adhesive. Just swear some on there and let it sit for a while. Then it wipes off pretty easily.
Flooziiieeees 🤘🏽 she was a booger bear!!
Hi sinclair, I did not see my question down below. I am just painting my badges and putting a 2 part clear coat on them. Do I have to take the adhesive off if I am using new 3m tape and putting badges back? Nice video. Thanks in advance! 😀👍
Take the old adhesive off for sure
Say you wanted to paint your car a different color.. Is there a way to remove the emblems so you can use them again??
Can you do this on an old classic horn button? I want to get it rechromed but the plastic button wouldn’t hold up in process. I’d like to remove without destroying.
Great Breakdown
Worked perfectly! Thanks 😊
I have the X5M competition and want to remove all model/name badges from both interior and exterior. How do you do about removing the X5M Competition badge from a carbon interior center console - without losing the finish on the carbon trim that lies underneath? I would like to remove the badge and keep the nice, consistent finish of that glossy carbon trim.
Thanks,
J.
Hopefully I’ll be at Sinclair next year in the automotive program in the fall!!!!
WD 40 is a great adhesive remover and doesn't affect the paint.
Assuming we follow the same technique for removing the remaining adhesive, what’s the best way to first remove the dumb vinyl stickers put on by the dealer, obviously without damaging the paint? Heat and a plastic spudger maybe?
Straight to the point, thank you
Faster more efficient way is to heat it, and use a PLASTIC razor blade or a plastic card and remove each letter and 99 percent of the adhesive at the same time. Then us GOO GONE to remove the remainder of the adhesive. Goo Gone will NOT hurt the paint. The method shown is too slow. And that eraser wheel, like a heat gun, in the hands of someone who is impatient will result in damage to the paint. Spin that drill at high speed and not move it for a few seconds and see what happens.
Idea for a video.
Pros and cons of vinyl wrapping a vehicle
Good idea!
Hell yes! Thanks 🙏🏼
My car is relatively new (it’s a 22 which means it was probably made toward the middle to end of 21) and is mostly garage kept so hopefully it won’t be hard to remove. The decal I want to remove is just a little 1 x 1 square and I plan on using fishing line and then goo gone and then I’ll buff it. Car is black so there’s guaranteed to be scratches that’s why I’ll buff. Wish me luck.
