i have a 2000 civic hatch, and i want to get rid of the "civic" and "cx" emblem on the back. whats the best way to do this, and will it leave any holes?

Im not familiar with these cars so i dont know if it would leave anyholes, but ive seen people gouge the sh*t out of there paint using screwdrivers to do this... so DONT use a screwdriver the best way is to heat them with a hairdryier and get a putty knife with masking tape wrapped around the edge/blade part. and then when its heated up(to unstick the glue) slide the knife befhind the emdblem and then carefully slide it down or pry it out (prying it may scratch or chip so be carefull) and then when they are off, you may want to use some adhesive remover to get rid of the excess glue and then rubbing compound and wax to make is shine

the civic and cx emblems have no holes.. Use a thin device.. maybe a knife and just lift the emblems off.. you will have alot of glue stuck to your paint.. go to the store.. buy some 3M adhesive remover. That **** works like a charm. And if you are having trouble, heat up the glue with a blow dryer too.

i used a hair dryer and dental floss to take them off, that was easy. i tried about every glue solvent/soap/water to get the glue off, got frustrated, and said "skrew this im using Goof-off". that worked like magic. looks really clean

goof off or goo gone is the ****.

goo gone??? i bought that glorified orange juice at home depot to get the glue off and it didn't work! infact the horrible failure that goo gone was inspired me to use goof-off

i went out to my car and removed them just after i read this i used a blowdryer and floss and it worked great, after that i just heated up the glue that was left behind and peeled it off then waxed it.

isn't goo gone and goof off the same, i used the goo gone it hink, it smells orangey, and it worked like a charm, just put it on, and wipe off with a towel.

May I see some documentation on that?

"One product that is advertised as nontoxic is a stain remover called "Goo Gone." According the material safety data sheet, the product, a mixture of petroleum naphthas and citrus oils"

Citrus Oils, when left on a cars clear coat for a short period of time.. can strip it away.. I just wouldnt recommend using Goo Gone alot on your car.. just once to get the Emblem off.. thats all I wanted to say.. And make sure to thouroughly wash the area afterwards with alcohol.. You dont want that **** to bake in the sun.
ust imagine leaving a sliced open orange on your cars hood for a day.. then check and see if you like the result.. lol

I heard you dont even need a haidryer. I heard toothfloss and some elbow grease is all you need.

i use a hairdryer to heat up the glue then use dental floss and slowly slice away the emblem and glue. then use some nice removal and take off the stuff then rewaxt he surface.
