Remove Or Replace Badges on a Car

Automobiles are mass-produced products, and they usually come from the factory bearing the badges of the manufacturer, model, and trim level. If you're interested in personalizing your vehicle, one quick and easy way to do that is to remove or replace these badges.

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 5-20 minutes

Required Tools

Paper Towels
Goo Gone
Rubbing Alcohol
Wax and Grease Remover or All Purpose Cleaner

Step by Step Instructions

1

Run a piece of floss behind the badge to separate it from the foam adhesive pad.

Peel off the left over foam adhesive. If it doesn't peel up easily, soak it with some Goo Gone for a few minutes.

Using Goo Gone, wipe off the leftover adhesive. I like to alternate between alcohol and Goo Gone until the adhesive is gone.

Use some wax and grease remover to remove any of the Goo Gone that might be left over. The surface should be completely clean, but may still show a slight outline of the badge. This is simply because the paint that was underneath the badge was protected from the elements until now.
