WS6 badge removal help! I'm debadging my WS6. I tried to use dental floss, but it wasnt nearly strong enough. The adheasive it tough! Maybe a heat gun, and some fishing line? Thanks for any responces!
I wouldn't recommend using a heat gun, just use some fishing line and some adhesive remover after you get it off of there. You might want to wrap the fishing line around something to hold if it's being real stubborn.
+1. Do a sawing motion pulling the fishing line towards you so you won’t scratch up the car. Once the badge is off put a lot of adhesive remover ,let it seat and then use you fingers to remove the glue/ tape. P.S. take your time

eraser wheel will eat you bumper, use a clean bondo spreader. or a piece of nylon strap that holds boxes together. any body shop will have some in the trash. much better than fishing string. or dentail floss lol

+1 This worked very well for me on my Grand Prix, although a couple of them pulled off quite easily. Hair dryer isn't as harsh as a heat gun and waxed floss left no marks whatsoever. I then soaked any of the remaining adhesive with some aerosol bug and tar remover and was able to "roll" the rest of the adh. off with my thumb.
the only thing ive ever used to get emblems of is a 4in wide paint scraper. if your very very carful itll cut right through the double sided tape without scratching the paint. if your scared to try it ive seen a few guys at the shop use welding wire.
