| Re: How to De-Badge? use a hair dryer to heat up the glue and then some fishing wire to gently saw through the glue and then remove the excess glue if there is any with some white spirit

| Re: How to De-Badge? Naa it wont get that hot. You will be safe with a hair dryer, a heat gun or anything hotter could harm the paint

| Re: How to De-Badge? I used very warm but not boiling kettle water and a plastic scraper to remove my octavia lettering, worked a treat

| Briskodian  | Re: How to De-Badge? i found that using a old credit card works the best, dont have to heat the badge up, it gets the badge off fine and just leaves some of the adhesive glue which can be scraped off.
