Dealer Emblem

[chevssr]

I have a dealer emblem on my tailgate. It looks like it is plastic and glued on. What is the best way to remove this without dorking up the paint??

I like to introduce some heat to it as I'm gently peeling it away. It's most likely attached with bonding tape. You could use a blow dryer on the Warm setting...do not heat the paint up.

3M™ General Purpose Adhesive Remover is what I like. Just dribble some on the backing tape and it will let loose with a little bit of help using a plastic spatula. Then, clean up the residue with the same stuff.

If is a raised emblem = use a piece of fishing line tied to wood dowels and cut through the adhesive. Remove adhesive with orange oil based hand cleaner without pumice. If a flat decal, use a bondo spreader to scrape the decal up at corner and then apply some orange oil degreaser with a Qtip. Repeat the process until the decal is off. Remove adhesive with orange oil based hand cleaner without pumice. Final clean with window cleaner.

You can also use WD-40 to loosen the adhesive.

...along with dental floss.

Send the dealer a bill for allowing him to advertise on your vehicle.

Warm it and use dental floss for a clean removal.
