Removing the badges from your car will give it a sleek, mysterious look. A car’s badges include any applique that involves the manufacturer’s insignia, the dealership tag and any lettering (typically found on the rear of the vehicle). It is a common practice among high-end automotive detailers to remove these badges, giving the car a sleek sense of individuality. With a length of dental floss and a bottle of Goo Gone™ you will be good to go.
Set a hair dryer to maximum heat (high), and heat the applique for approximately two or three minutes.
Apply enough Goo Gone™ solvent to soak the applique. Allow it to stand for one or two minutes.
Cut a 1-foot piece of dental floss, and wrap the ends around your index fingers.
Using the dental floss as a saw, begin working it between the applique and the surface of the car. You may have to literally saw the dental floss up and down to work it through the adhesive.
Gently remove the applique with either a pair of needle-nose pliers or your fingers.
Apply another dose of Goo Gone™ solvent, and wipe the remainder of the adhesive away with a clean rag.
