if i remove the honda and civic badges on the trunk will there be paint damage or will they leave glue or whatever they use to stick them on left on the body.. any tips on how to remove them would be great.. i already went to the body and paint forum but got no love there so im asking every forum for help im sure people from diffrent models have removed their badges

 

Are you removing them to replace them, or get rid of them? If getting rid of them, take a razor blade, wedge it in the side of the emblem, and lift away from the vehicle. Be careful not to touch the paint with the blade.

There will probably be a little bit of adhesive residue. The best way to get rid of it is to rub as much of it off that you can with your finger and fingernail, and then cleaning it with a soft cotton cloth. It may take a little while, but it's worth it.

There's nothing worse than seeing a car rolling around with the residue still on it.

 

do NOT use a razor blade. use dental floss or fishing line to seperate the badges from the car, and goo-gone to remove the adhesive. the newer the car the easier this is.

a razorblade is the stupidest idea ever.

 

^x2. i used fishing line and then goo gone to get the glue off. its the best way to go.

 

Well I used a razor blade and it came out just fine. It's not like you are touching the vehicle with the blade.

To each his own.

 

The point of the blade is to get between the emblem and the car, right?? How is the blade not touching the car???

 

your sig should read: Check out my avatar. Thats what a razor blade will do to a FG2.

 

The point is to attach the blade to the emblem, and lift the emblem away from the vehicle, not under it. I don't let anything touch the paint on my vehicle.

 

Except razor blades

 

oh snap.

 

Bottomline...do not use a razorblade. Fishing line or dental floss is the safest way, and it is very easy. My Civic emblem was off (using fishing line) and the spot cleaned/waxed in under 2 minutes.

 

+1 never let a razorblade get close to your car at all...

 

remember also before using the dental floss or fishing line to use a hair dryer and warm the badge a bit, it'll help greatly.
NO RAZOR BLADE

Use your fingers. Just rip the badge off with your fingers. To remover the adhesive, roll it off with your fingers. Then wax. It took all of four and a half minutes to do.

 

i used my fingers too. and peeled off the adhesive. looks great

 

you can also use a heat gun to get the adhesive warm and most of it will peal off. Or you can use a blow dryer. then goo gone, but it is kinda weak. i think you can use laqour, but not sure on that, but just take your time. i did it with a heat gun. worked good

 

pwuahahha

 

I'm assuming the H emblem has the usual two holes? I've already removed our Civic emblem with the old fashion blow dryer/fish line but didn't mess with the H for fear of leaving holes
