when all of you who debadged your car, took off the stickers...how did you get all that adhesive residue off?

 

Dishsoap in hot water, works like a charm. Be sure to wax the area aftewards.

 

I didn't have any residues... used hair-dryer and all the sticky stuff was on the sticker. If there were any sticky stuff, just use your finger.

 

Meguires cleaner wax should work. I used it to clean up the junk left after we took the pinstripes off of my wife's Prelude. Worked like a charm.
You may try spray-type adhesive remover, but the cleaner wax works, and it should help the paint, not potentially damage it like the adhesive remover.

 

the dishsoap thing didnt work. and i dont have any of the cleaner wax . I do have bug/tar remover but that doesnt work...

 

heat it up w/ a hair dryer. Then use masking tape or duct tape and remove it like lint

 

thanks yosh..ill give it a try..ahhh i dont have any duct tape i only have the paper tape which isnt too sticky.

if you can heat it up g00d enough, you can prolly use your fingers to just "roll" off the chit.

g00d luck

 

DO NOT put the hair dryer too close to the body panel... it'll start to melt the paint. I am not kidding. (Don't ask me how I know.)

 

anyone else? this adhesive removal is a real PITA!

 

just say "fug it" and put the badge back on - juju

 

ahh its only the Type R stickers though...

 

then put a bigger sticker over it to hide the gunk

 

well i got it all off...now on my left side you can still see the outline...ill show you so cal guys tmrw..

 

Compund then wax it

 

what compound should i buy? i need a name. Thanks Mike.

 

Look For Meguars Most light duty Compounds will be fine

 

You can also try a product called GOO-GONE (available at most hardware stores). We use it when removing vinyl graphics off cars, trucks and boats.

 

here's a pic of my left side...i dont know how to get it off..sorry for the bad quality..im not sure if its scraped paint or wax buildup...any tips?

 

Did you try Compounding and waxing it?

BTW Nice idea, I think Im going to keep my stickers off too

 

rubbing compound!!

 

i recently bought some 3m fine cut compound....didnt do a thing...any recommendations?

 

mine were a pain in the butt too, so i finally went to wal mart and bought some adhesive remover, i forget the name but it came in a blue arosol can, and said safe for paint on it. i came right off, and paint looks fine where i sprayed it.

 

Jeez, you type-r guys sure like rippin stuff off...stickers, wings, door lock switches, etc. etc. hehe

 

sucks what we have to do these days to keep incognito huh?
