    Body emblems

    What's the best (and quickest) way to remove the body emblems? I don't want to jack my paint up. :cool:

    Do it when it's blazin hot out, the adhesive becomes more pliable. I use the floss method, then I use goo-off to get the residue off. WD-40 also works well. Then I buff the paint with polish compound and finish with wax (polish removes wax too). Be careful, take your time. Works for body molding as well.

    BE CAREFUL!

    , inspect the edges of the emblems closely and check to see if they clear coated over the emblems,theyre not suppost to do that from the factory but my car was like that and it left chipping clear coat and exposed paint where my emblems used to be, luckily i got a paintjob so im allright now
