Best way to de-badge boot.
 

As in the title guys in wanting to remove the "subaru, wrx and impreza" badges whats best way to do this and whats best for clearing any gunk left underneath the sticky pad ? Hope you can help guys !!!

Toffee wheel. or just a decent glue remover such as tardis

Heat them up before you pull the letters off , leaves less sticky foamy stuff .

rub the badge in cheese and heat in up with a hairdryer.
it wont get the badge off but it makes a tasty snack

Dental floss can be handy to get in behind the badges to the adhesive.
Then just tar and glue remover and some elbow grease :thumb:

Could be a nice snack for after :) haha
Cheers guys, just hope its not raining tomo ? Then i can get stuck in :)

Defo use a hair drier to heat the glue up. My old man pull a vinyl sticker off the MX5 hardtop and it brought the paint with it.

lol what sort of man owns a hair dryer.


oh a gay one ;)

I used dental floss to get the Subaru lettering off my mates bug then just some serious elbow grease to get rid of the adhesive afterwards :thumb:

I used dental floss then ordinary car polish/wax to remove the gunk - simples.
Easier if done on a warm day or in full sun or after warming with hair drier.
I think it looks much tidier although I decided to leave my SUBARU letters still on :-)

I use it to get the volume in my pubic fro

Best way I have found is to heat up with a hairdryer and then lift with fingernails after getting a piece of floss underneath.

Best way to remove the glue is with WD-40.

Be careful not to scratch your car paintwork lifting the badge.

As said - hairdryer.
Also, a product called "Sticky Stuff Remover" is excellent!
I think I last got some from Halfrauds but generally great stuff to keep in the garage :thumb:

Lol good point I got one but its broken ,never worked come to think of it .

I used hairdryer, floss then peeled them off carefully. Got all the adhesive off with wd40. Somehow there are small chips out of paint around the edges of the letters. So now ive got subaru letters for good! I don't know how it happened. I was told maybe the letters had been lacquered over?

I had the Chips found the edge when debadging a previous car. As I was peeling the letter off the bottom edge dug in to the paint

Thread revival... Anyone know if the rear badges on a blob sti 03 plate are glued on or do they locate through the bootlid?

Glued mate just spray carb cleaner on them they come off easy then, I tried one with wd40 was a lot harder.

Is carb cleaner OK on the paintwork

I used bug and tar remover. :thumb:

I used a combo of carb cleaner for the stubborn bits and McGuires paint cleaner for the rest. Hot sunny day makes the world of difference too

Had no problems just wash it afterwards :thumb:

Cheers guys

Heated mine with a heat gun then used wd40 to remove most gunk and polished the rest off with auto glym :)

Acetone free nailvarnish remover works a treat or a toffee wheel
