I want to debadge my car this weekend. I've seen videos where floss works pretty good to take the letters off but what is best for removing the gunk? I used some turtle wax scratch remover on a different part of my car and it put swirl marks in it... I want the best solution.

 

Get some fine fishing line and Turtle Wax Bug & Tar Remover. Spray the emblems with the stuff and slice the emblems off. Spray all the glue and remove with MB towel. Repeat as needed.

I removed the Infiniti emblem and Goo-Gone didn't help at all...takes way too long. The Turtle Wax stuff works well!

 

wd-40.

 

Heating it up with a hair dryer with the above products will speed up the process too

 

The letters and Mt Fuji have small indentions on the bottom for a very small flathead screwdriver.... About the easiest way to get them off, just pry them off. When I took mine off I just rolled the adhesive off with my thumb, instead of making a huge gooey mess with Goo Gone. After I had almost all the adhesive off I then used Goo Gone to remove the rest, which was barely any.

I feel sorry for you guys who do it the hard way

You got swirl marks becuz all youre doing is grinding dirt and sh*t into the clearcoat. Claybar the trunk before buffing, polishing, or waxing. The rear of these cars are dust magnets becuz there is no air circulation back there.

 

Bug and Tar Remover worked great on mine.. Plus some elbow grease!
