How to Debadge
 
Ok Lets start off wit hthe tools needed.

1)Fishing String
2)Armorall Orange clean wipes
3)white rag
4)Blow Dryer


Ok first off you have to take a 12" Fishing string and work it behind the letters. Be sure to keep it pulled up tight against the letter so you dont cuase any chaffing agains the paint. Work it back and forth to cut the letter away from the tape.

After you get al lthe letters and chevy emblem broke loose, take your fingernail and pull off as much of the tape as possible.

Then take the blow dryer and hold it against the paint for about 5 minutes to make the glue real gummy.

Take the white rag and run it against the glue pretty hard. It will cause the glue to ball up with the rag fragments.

Take the Orange clean wipes and clean it off. It take a few times of repeating the last threee steps to get it all off.

Then take a cleaner wax and wax the whole trunk to get all the minor marks you might have put in it out.

Last but not least, Use a good finishing wax and reaply to the trunk.


Total time:: 55 minutes.
Difficulty level. 3

P.S. Also works with the Small GM badges o nthe sides of the car.

I'll try to get some pics of the finished product today and post them.
