Another De-badging question!

[dvid]

Hi all

Took the rear MG badge off the car yesterday, using the hair dryer and card technique and it worked really well, but there is still bit of gluey residue on the back is there anything that I can use (safely) to get this last bit off? Actually looks worse at the moment as you can see that there was clearly a badge there! :confused:

Cheers all

i just used polish to get mine off and a little t cut to blend it away then rewaxed it and you coulnt see it anymore

Tar Remover FTW

Scratch X is less aggressive than T-Cut. White spirit should be okay.

Petrol....... works perfectley! but only a little!

[tonym1988]

tar remover works a dream thats what i used when i took my back badge off

Panel Wipe is even better.

[rbull51]

why take the badge off in the first place???

[dvid]

Panel Wipe?

I didn't like the look of the MASSIVE badge on the back, and, I bought some of those XPower stickers which made it look even worse, but when taking the sticker off it peeled some of the badge so I thought f£ck it! I like the de-badged look anyway

Currently it still has the ZS badges on the back, think I might keep those

Halfords surface cleaner works well - intended for cleaning repaired areas prior to spraying with aerosol.

any of the above should be fine, except the T-Cut!

As said Meguiars Scratch X is the best stuff for the job once the sticky residue is removed

Nice one thanks all, definately prefer it without the badge, not sure whether to remove the ZS as well and get just an XPower one for the back... hmmm

Anyone want to pop up pics of their rears please do! (CARS!)

The more duplexes I see the more I want one!

[Bobdope2002]

i wouldnt like to use any sort of solvent on my paintwork e.g. Panal Wipe

the Zs paint is soft enough as it is, im sure some panal wipe would have no trouble stripping it off

Id take the Safe Route and use Tar Remover may take 10-15 mins to remove all the stuff but it leaves the paintwork like new.

On my First car i used it all over the car like a polish my car was as smooth as a babys bottom for ages :lol:
