Tips for Removing Badges

[Paqngo]

Greetings, everybody.

I intend to remove the model identification off the rear of my automobile.

I am inquiring about the most optimal approach to do this task.

Specifically, what is the most effective method to eliminate the remaining residue without using a mechanical device?

Thank you in advance.

Apply heat to the badge using a hair dryer and use dental floss to sever the adhesive tape. Conclude the process by using a substance such as Sticky stuff remover to eliminate any residual glue.
The age of the automobile may result in a variation in hue.

Afterward, prepare to use T Cut and polish the whole region in order to restore it to a condition that is almost identical to its original state. (Otherwise, the region with the emblem would seem more luminous compared to the surrounding area.)

I use dental floss to sever the glue on the emblem, followed by the application of tar remover to eliminate the residual stickiness.

Is it necessary to use Makita or can I use a generic brand on my SL?? 🤔🤪

In order to get a professional outcome, it is necessary to use professional-grade equipment. At the absolute least, one should consider using Makita or, preferably, Milwaukee tools.

Is it necessary to go such a great distance only to get a grinder? Perhaps I might attend a performance of the play "Laverne and Shirley" during my visit.

To remove the residue left on the automobile, you may apply heat to it and then easily peel it off using a powerful adhesive tape, such as gaffer tape. I did not need the use of any solvent or remover on the two items I have worked on, one of which was brand new and the other was 7 years old.

Additionally, I would like to offer a piece of advise - refrain from posting the same question in many sections of the forum. 😉

In 1997, when MB removed the 300CE-24 from my vehicle, they used heat and then utilised a grinder, as you correctly said. I was astonished, but everything is now in order.

The performance of this product is excellent, with fast and efficient operation.

The object referred to as the 'grinder' is most likely a toffee wheel.

To remove the residue, first remove the badge. Then, saturate a piece of kitchen roll with petrol and apply it to the residue. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes before simply scraping off the residue. I have recently used the double-sided number plate tape and it came off in less than a minute. I had been attempting to remove a substance by scraping for almost 30 minutes using WD40 and other methods, but I did not make any progress.
