Now most of you are probably used to looking at rear ends;) anyway joke over. I want to debadge mine, using just a card and some tar remover? if that will work good? butttt, coz its red and they fade coz there poo. if i removed badge and used tar remover would u see where the writing had been? just because that bit aint faded. really need a bit of t-cut and elbow grease ( ca be arsed ).

Pic -

Cheers

just to add** what if i use a card right, and some paint comes off or something? and emmm, does tar remover just remove the glue completely?

i used a hair dryer and some dental floss on my flame red corsa. use a dry rag to rub the glue residue off. It takes the piss to do, but worth taking time over. a rush job will end up peeling paint off or damaging the finnish. You could see where the writing was, but just t cut it over and over and over again. i t cutted the small area where the badges were, about 30 - 40 times. whole process took about 2 hours but look sooooo much better.

I got mine off with nothing more than a kettle full of almost boiling water to losen the glue and dental floss (see saw action going diagional). Then removed the remainder of the glue a cloth with soapy water (and occasionally added a little more water from the kettle) Took about an hour to get the rear done like that.

i used a kettle, my student card (finally found a use for it lol), and a scrubbing brush, no scratches or anything, mines the argon blue corsa and you cant see where theyve been unless you hold the boot up so it hits the light and your actually looking for it, what i did though was removed the smallest badge first, in my cas the 1.0 one and if it went well i went for the rest, if its a bit faded try a bit of polish or wax too

anyway hereas a pic of mine
