Also a great way to get rid of the awful dealership badges that they force on customers.
ChefDomH. I was talking about those the other day. They send your car out with advertising and car damage by adding 3d emblems to them. If they paid me a yearly advertising fee I'd be cool w it. but they just fuck you into advertising.
I always thought they used license plates and VIN numbers...
yeah. The license and Vin number don't identify a car. hey repo man...go grab a grey Mustang that has our symbol. Pick one. It doesn't matter it has our logo it must be the one we're looking for......dumb
I'd tell them to remove the badge or i buy the car somewhere else - I can understand a sticker or plate border but a badge..make me shake my head whenever I see cars with them
Mark Pensmith Yes, the vin number does identify the car
No badge = weight reduction ftw
+Heaven Sahota Yeah must do that,spare tire replaced by tire repair in a can,lol.
"get a small coffee to much weight slows down my car"-Car Guy Priorities
Take out all the gas, oil and tires for maximum weight reduction.
Walking using your feet, ultimate weight reduction
Drive in a plastic Little tikes car. Weight reduction max confirmed
This guy seems like the nicest guy ever haha
Chunky Rexx, Larry is an extremely nice guy, really humorous in person.
I would move the gt r emblem where the Nissan emblem sits.
Exile I was thinking the same thing.
+Exile It's been done quite commonly here in Singapore. Here, people even replace the front Nissan badge with the GT-R badge as well.
+Exile Yeah that would look tight
Galleon Chua there is no Nissan badge in the front. Only nissan logo on GTR is on the back trunk door
I hate dealer emblems. Pay thousands for a car and they have the nerve to put their emblem on my car. The emblem from the car company itself is fine but not the dealer. Thanks for showing me! Took mine off now I am going to get the residue off now.
Ugh I hate that too. Who the hell wants the dealership name cluttering up a usually already cluttered back end?
+ThePattycake1313 You're welcome to take it off and do whatever you want to the car after you buy it. But remember before it's purchased the dealer owns the vehicle and may do whatever they want with it.
***** wow really?
+Ivan Fernandes You know what else works?... You just ask them to take it off. They want to sell you the car and the salesman and sales manager couldn't care less if the car drives off with the dealer badge or sticker. Also by just asking you drive off knowing that the whole sales team isn't laughing about the douchbag babbling about an advertising agreement.
You can just ask them to take it off. Any detailer like myself will gladly do it within a few minutes for the customer's convenience.
I'm gonna remove them off of my Impreza. But on a GTR I wouldn't take it off. That GTR emblem is more than just a badge. It's a symbol.
Carlos Diaz what impreza do u have
Aloha_gamer I'm guessing a bug eye
People like to steal Emblems. Not to mention they could be painting it.
Carlos Diaz except this car is garbage. the only real gtr is the r34
Aloha_gamer: He doesn't have one. he is subscribed only for girls like some wanking nerd. i bet he doesn't even have a car :D
This video was very helpful and in super good quality. Not to loud, not to low. Back ground noise not loud and his voice is at the right volume. Great video
Well that logo decreased the value by $10,000.

Admiral Ackbar hahahahah lmfao u tried this on someone's car hahahahah
There is this orange stuff called Goo Be-Gone. Don't even need that razor. Spray it on let it sit and wipe it off. And your paint is perfect. I've taken off emblems and decals from my cars and motorcycle.
+Bret Vines It works well...did it with my Altima SE-R
goo gone works well with the glue residue, not with the foamy part of the adhesive.
+Bret Vines found a whole bottle of that stuff in a parking lot lol. Score!
+Bret Vines i have a 2005 g35 and decided to de-badge the trunk , i used goo gone and there is still a golden residue from the glue , i dont know what else to do or use to remove it , thanks for any help or advice
Thanks
"..and I don't have any gloves on because I wanna feel the heat.."
Feels the heat.
I know this comment is old, but I literally laughed out loud and it’s midnight! 😂
Too funny !
@@Snow-chi Same here.
Why did i just watch this? I don't even have a car...

Larry in my opinion you are undoubtedly the best detailer on TH-cam. You are making me seriously consider starting my own detailing company in the future but I really wish you would show more of the finished product. You clearly take a lot of pride in your work. Would have been awesome to see this car with both badges off and fully polished
Thanks Larry, great info. Also a good idea to look inside the car to make sure the emblems do not have locator tabs or else you will have holes to deal with after removal.
Larry, I don't know how I ever missed your postings. However, you are the BEST and I will continue to support you. Thank you, for teaching me some things I always wanted to know. God Bless!
I hope you have a speedy and non eventful recovery :) love your videos keep em coming !
RICH POP BOOM BLACK
That should be a nissan color option.
John C - Nissan GT-R Rich Pop Boom Black Edition
Point to note with burns: don't use ice to treat. It creates secondary burns.
Use cool running water.
Additionally: don't take a GTR badge off!
That’s a Nissan badge
Best thing for that kind of burns? Tothpaste. Any brand.
This guy need practice the basics of safety: gloves and goggles when work.
@@Motoplugg he do take off the GTR badge as well. Looks dope without the badges
Your vids have been incredibly educational. I never would have picked up these skills as quickly or thoroughly by reading a book on detailing. Thanks Larry and thank you TH-cam. Just used this technique to remove the "Focus" emblem from my new RS. Maybe now people will stop saying "Oh cute Focus! I rented one of those before!"
extremely helpful video! I used 10lb test fishing line + blow dryer + Goo Gone and the dryer worked VERY quickly - can't imagine taking the risk of a heat gun when the blow dryer was so fast (30-45 sec per badge). after the badges were off, the excess adhesive tape rolled right off by hand (2016 Toyota Highlander), so the Goo Gone was just for cleanup and took 60 secs (I could have skipped it!). then wiped clean and hand waxed. done! total time = heating badge, 1 min.; fishing line, 2 mins.; removing excess adhesive, 5 mins; Goo Gone and wiping clean, 5 mins. Difficulty level is like a 3/10. And this was my first time. Thank you!
And you've got a new Subscriber
I like the way you explain things
Thank you very much for the video
Larry is such a likable dude. I love watching your videos at the office. It really fuels my passion for detailing. #stayroyal
Excellent video. I followed this method to remove emblems from my vehicle and it worked perfectly. Can't tell it ever had emblems on it. Thanks for this
You have some really great videos. I really enjoyed the barn find 912 restoration learned a lot when it came to removing mold on a leather interior.
Thanks for the tip, glad your back, I was starting to get lazy on some of my cleaning/detailing routine on my own vehicle, and need you to boot my ass and tell me to smarten up by putting out more videos!
LOL
You've been detailing your lawn mower it seems.
Come on bro don't make fun of his honda.
He'd say it's V-tec powered.
it's depend of what's the car you have, you have probably a car like corolla and its normal to not remove the badge for better look!
Who the hell is goin to remove the gtr logo??? Nissan logo ok, but the gtr logo. Its like u remove the skin from ur body bcus "its not looking good" wtf...
Thank you ^^^^ 😂😂😂
hey. vnj.b0ktcnbllllllllllpb by 36
because it looks cleaner lol
cbm12345432 no it looks absolutely shit without the gtr logo
Really? A Nissan GTR "looks absolutely shit" without the GTR badge? No.
"You want that RICH POP BOOM BLACK!" Lol awesome videos Larry.
Thanks for taking the time to show an informative technique from a pro 👍🏼
Love your great videos....you seem so neat and tidy,do you fold your underpants in your drawers?
***** yes...u dont?
Great to see your back Larry.
I was thinking the same exact thing. He has been MIA
J. terry I'm BAAACK
I prefer his front
Really appreciate your explanations, teaching style and humor. Thank you
I dont even know how I got here, but you are engaging. You are not a douche and provide great information. Thanks for teaching me something. I'll be taking off emblems now the next time I'm in a parking garage.
glowing hot 1000 degree logo vs guys finger!! MUST WATCH YOU WONT BELIEVE
Moaty Moaty (gone wrong) (police called)
Moaty Moaty (gone sexual)
oh yeah yeah oh yeah yeah (gone sicko mode)
Great video.i was going to remove my emblem with a shovel.
Welcome back Larry!!!! Great video, thanks. Hope your knee is feeling better. Anyway to tell if the badge has pins first? Thanks.
kevin rafferty I really didn´t think and didn´t know that any car manufacturers still used badge pins - but as I can see from the comments to this video clip - this is still the case. Apart from trying to google it I think - on the rear - that the only way is to remove the cover inside the trunk and to check for pins there. But it´s a good question actually.
Thanks was removing a badge without preheating, was taking forever!!! you saved me about 30-40mins!
Rather than doing this. Warm up a kettle of hot water. Pour it over the sign. It will come off then peel off the glue. Took me 5 mins for the Range Rover
I just used this method, eased the emblem off with a plastic trim popping tool. Very quick and satisfying. Thanks for the tip👍🏽
Thank you I'm do this tomorrow when I change mines
Boiling?
-560hp
I wish your business was in the UK.
Very good job 👍
1 million views congratulations man you deserve more!!!!
Now how do I go from a NBA One year Wonders video to this? This recommending system is one hell of a thing.
would goo gone work as well?
yup. May take a little longer but should work.
AMMO NYC hi
AMMO NYC is that the 🇦🇱 flag
+RaphaK hehe
RaphaK cowsin these ease yioor cowsin letch gow bawlin!
thanks for the good video. I learned a lot from him.
it just surprises me that you don't use a temperature-controlled hot air gun.
I also bought a BOSCH GHG 23-66 with all the attachments.
I am very satisfied.
great videos man. this will save me in repainting my acura's trunk
Can you do a video on how to maintain a waxed car? I spent hours claying and waxing my car an the next day it looks like crap from all the dirt and dust on the road.
No before/after shot of the rear?
Also, welcome back Larry! :3
I know I know....I totally spaced
Eric Kuan before, looks great. after, looks like kit car.
As usual - an intelligent operator - explaining the technical aspects for all of us NUMBNUTS - HA. Thanks. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA
Nice, always great info from your videos. This was quite helpful!
8:36 "DAB DAB DAB DAB"
If I had that GT-R I would remove the Nissan logo, and put the GT-R logo where the Nissan logo should be.
Nicely done. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
I’ve found that a combination of solvent remover and steam is a really fast way to remove all the gunk safety 👍 I’m a detailer in the uk and love your videos with very hints and tips. Keep up the great work 👍
Go to minute 5:00 for a sick burn.
Pete150 nice joke, just for that I want to listen to the mixtape
Evil loooooooooool
John Chappell aaa
wd 40 sprayed on that old rubber junk takes about 2 mins if that and it all will be gone.. you don't need heat or a plastic blade...
then buff and polish the area....
Very professional! If i had a high end car i certainly know where i'd be taking it!
Hi. Love the fishing line method, thanks for the tip. Is it a bad idea to use goo gone to remove the remaining glue?
My car's emblem just got stolen -.-
I m weasel man i've had that happen too.
Haha wtf did they go to your car and heat gun it off?
What car do you have?
+Garrett Bradley I've had it happen to my bmw 530i..but it didn't come off clean. glue was left on car
***** thats so weird. Emblems are so cheap
i thought it be held with pins.. thats interesting it isnt
I think the most cars these days are held in by adhesives ~15-20 pound strength, so really it doesn't make much sense to use pins
well he just took it off with hot air and a string lol strength is meaningless lol
Clearly you missed the point of my statement.
i got your point.
Well, some are, some aren't.
Nice video, thx for upload.
I just removed some of the rear emblems on my Audi A4 too - also with a heat gun and fishing line. But it took some time for me to remove all the glue. My biggest fear is always to use something on the paint that is too strong and will destroy the paint - but I guess solvent used with care is OK.
Thanks for the info. Worked great on my motorcycle. The first thing I do with a new vehicle is remove the majority of the badging. Vehicle looks so much better without. Vintage high end cars did not have all the badges on, just the logo and maybe a GT
Soaking the goo in wd40 would have saved you an awful lot of time.
i would remove the nissan emblem but no the gtr like wtf
X
D
Simon Cowell It's a no for him.
This worked like a champ!!! Had a heat gun and fishing line in the shop and BOOM...done deal.
I remember I tried a hairdryer on one of my old cars, didnt work very well so I had to resort to boiling water poured over it hahah how bad! This video makes it look so easy!
I like to use 120 grit medium sand paper to remove the excess glue followed by wiping the area clean with paper towels dabbed in brake fluid. Works every time!
Would it hurt to use the plastic razor while you use the solvent and the rag?
+merrick behnke It would hurt. It would put more scratches in the paint. You can to get it off faster but then you'll have to buff longer to remove the scratches inflicted by the plastic razor.
Okay good to know. Thanks man :)
someone posted this technique in 2012. you posted this one in 2014. good timing : )
Good video and tip! The black sticky stuff, double sides tape 👍🏼
...and with all that said and done, I shall leave the badges on my car lol
hahaha same here
lmao
01bluebusa LOL!
im sending this guide for all owners who own a non m bmw and put m signs on them
HAHA! Totally right on with this one!
3m adhesive remover works really well for taking off the rest of the double sided tape. Makes sense considering most double sided tape you find on autos use 3m product.
Great demonstration. If I'm not using a plastic razor, would it help to heat up the thick adhesive residue with the heat gun and then apply body solvent? Or would a hot surface cause the solvent to evaporate too quickly to be effective?
you don't take the GTR badge off a GTR... you get slapped for even thinking of having thoughts like that
If you need a logo to realize what car you're looking at, you have no right to be upset
Soldiers don't wear medals on their cammies, so that's not saying much
I've used WD40 to remove that little bit of glue off. Spray it on, wipes right off.
sfield86 How badly would that mess with the paint though?
Just did it a couple weeks ago w/ a friend's new car. It didn't mess with the paint at all, just took it slow and steady till all the glue was gone. Didn't need to polish it after either. (did this just before washing it, so I guess the soap made sure the oil was gone)
I was going to remove the badges on my car, but Honda loves to put a bad on the plastic grill, so now I need to buy a OEM spec grill without the emblem seat.
I don't plan to remove the badge of my car ,but the guy was so nice and so good at explaining I just watched the whole video and gave it a thumbs up .
Very useful, I plan on debadging my m3 soon. If I shoot a video of it I'll definitely refer to this video.
This is the Linus clone
Linus tech tips lmao
Why would you take off the GTR badge.....why!!
Thats my dream car!
Honestly i wouldnt have tooken the emblems off, id most likely plasti dip them :D
GTR ALL DAY!
you got your self a new subscriber !
You are a detail God. Thanks for the vids.
I typed that before you burned yourself. Still great videos.
Whats the ponit of buying a super car and not wearing the badge? O.o
+john hamlet its like on some bmw's they dont have the badge i think its to make it a little bit more humble
well its a nissan badge on this one so
Laser lol yes my black bmw is debaged. i feel a little less like a douche driving it lol.
***** Then you have people debadging their crappy 320ds to avoid showing off the fact that they onyl bought a base model.
+Fishfingers232 that's true but true bmw fans can tell a base bmw and mine is not a base model though. if a 320 and a 328 takes off at a red light you can tell the difference lol.
I'm removing the Honda logo on my Civic and see if I can afford a Bugatti logo 😈🍚
Nicely Done, thank you for the direction.
pretty nice how you described the method of it, i hope i will not scratch my car..... thanks 4 uploading!
You laugh like Eric from that 70's show
WD-40 works great for removing the adhesive...
not necessarily, depends, the wd will get your decals and emblems off but sure, if you want to polish it and buff it you can. See f there is a difference between the exposed paint and the one under the removed decal.
Sorry to sound like an idiot here but is that regular wd40 that you use on locks etc or wd40 degreaser? Or either? Thanks
Feelin ur videos bruv, like ur work !
Tell me would this method work on removal of adhesive car number plates front & rear obviously protecting paint @ the same time ? Another video idea 4u maybe :)
Great instructional video, thanks!
RIP nissan emblem
Why would u wanna remove them badging
some people want a clean look
Looks more customized just for the look you know . Kinda more unique in a sense
And also in certain cases you would have to take off the badges to put a aftermarket
I like how he doesn't bother commenting on the comments or defending his video , this guy knows his craft ;) . Keep up the good work Bro. /G\
This guy is awesome. Im from puerto rico i watch your stuff cool channel dude im a mechanic i work on tanks and motorcycles
Hey a easier way to get the glue stuff off is magic eraser
kenny sinanan Ok cool. Good tip :)
I wouldn't use magic eraser because its abrasive.
kenny sinanan That's a horrible idea. Have you seen what a magic eraser does to paint?!!
try something called a toffee wheel
I would just stick to the video
even on an $80k+ car, you still get orange peel, unless i'm just seeing things (to the right of his head where the light is) and i never understood why people like to debadge. makes their car look so bland with so much empty space in an area.
Driving a nissan is pretty embarrassing.
Probably because it's a Nissan.
Seen a guy put a Kia badge on a new Ferrari. Totally destroys peoples sheep brains.
It creates a smoother, cleaner line.
Maybe he got it debadged so that if he ever got caught speeding and the cop didn't know what the car was by the looks he couldn't say a "black Nissan GTR is heading south on I-90" or whatever and he might have a better chance of getting away.
Love the videos mate love from uk
This helped me to remove the chrome 4X4 emblem on my 2017 Tacoma
11:01 Finally he closes the trunk!
I would put the GTR logo where the Nissan one was
Everyone that knows cars we'll would know that was a cheap idea. And anyone that knows cars doesn't need a damn badge to remind them that car is a GTR.
in the body shop we use a product called a toffee wheel on a drill to remove the residue, no scratches and just needs a light polish afterward
How do you feel about using a steam sprayer, I used one and it worked great.
