Hi there! I have this Goo-gone also, but how did you applied it? I've read the directions but maybe you can share how did you apply this goo-gone thing. TIA

It's quite easy. Here's what I did:

Just get your Goo Gone and some paper towel. Take 1 sheet and fold it up a few times to make a small square.

Apply some Goo Gone to the paper towel. Wipe it generously across the foam/tape that's left on the car. Coat it well and let it sink in for a minute or two.

Pick an edge to start from, and just use your fingers to start peeling the foam off.

Feel free to re-apply the Goo Gone periodically as you go. It does work better if you give it time to sink in and loosen the adhesive.

Also you may want to do this step at a car wash, like I did.

If you're anything like me, your car will end up with WD-40 and Goo Gone all over the place. After I was done I just gave it a car wash, and it was all nice and clean and debadged.

^1 good instructions, although I use a cloth and not a paper towel.

Using plenty of product is the best advice!

Can/should you de-badge an older model?

Looking at getting an '07 and would like to remove the back letters, but think it might be too "baked in" to the paint?

Tylermayer, thanks.

Still have to get one, but I'll give it a try. Waxing will make it go faster too, right?

I pretty much did what RedHatch did. :)

Simply squirt some on a paper towel, rub it on the foam that was stubborn and let it soak in. I was able to rub it off with the pad of my fingers and fingernails. Then I wiped down the area with water after to make sure any goo gone residue was gone.

Thanks! I already used WD40 to remove the foam tape and it give a nice result too, I might used that "goo-gone" product next for my rear Toyota logo.

I have used a generic version of this 3m Pinstriping Remover wheel that I got from my local auto body paint store, I think I paid less than $20.00 for it and have removed countless emblems and even pinstiping on my '91 Caprice with little effort. Well worth it and no paint damage or marring at all. This is what professional people in autobody use to get the residual from emblems/moldings/striping off. This reminds me of a giant eraser [the good kind] that you used back in school. Put it in you cordless drill and your emblem [residual] will be gone in seconds. Take the actual emblem off with fishline first!

i used heat gun, wd40, and dental floss when i debadged my car.. they worked really well.. i think for the emblems to come off easily, you'd have to use a heat source. i don't know exactly if both just wd40 and dental floss would work just fine.

I used the heat of the sun and some fishing line to debadge mine. Took 30 seconds per. Dental floss broke on me every time. Besides, it was damned hard to find. People in S. Jesus don't floss...or have teeth! :)

I removed and painted my emblems today but they are not on the car yet Still letting clear coat dry. I purchased the 3M body tape and was wondering if people covered every part of the emblems on the back with the tape or if they only did like the top and bottoms?

Dammit, im just thinking of masking everything around it, and sanding/paint the badge on the car, just dont want to mess up my OEM Paint.

Thanks on the Awsome Thread

BTW: Heres mine.
-Not to worry, my little truck is getting lowered this Upcoming week as well..!!
