Can you remove it? or will it have the little hole that it goes into? i drive the 2.2L LS

 

Goo Gone, WD40, and fishing line....it'll come right off. But beware theres more work after due to adhesive residue you'll need to remove

 

how do i go abouts of removing the residue?
i was just gonna use a heat gun and fishing line

 

you could do that too, but youll still need something to help take off the leftover adhesive that was left on the car.

 

what works the best for residue?

 

A heat gun would work too, but you run the risk of getting the emblem so hot it melts the fishing line. The residue...you can claybar it out some say, I tried this method and every once in a while you can see the outline of the bowtie. My suggestion would be to use the goo gone to get the thing off, then goo gone the area as best as possible and then claybar. Then...get it buffed out cuz for some reason the clay didn't completely get rid of it for me.

 

alright i will have to do that tomorrow
im going to take the chev logo off and remove cobalt ls

 

I just debadged both mine and my girlfriends balts last weekend. Heat up the bowtie with a heat gun so it's easier to pull the fishing line through. Take off the badge, heat up the excess 2 sided tape left on the car with the heat gun. You'll be able to push it off with you're fingers. Put WD40 on a terry cloth so you don't scratch the paint. Wipe off the little bit of glue left on the car. Then take some car wax and wax where the badge was. Good to go

 

glue remover.

 

Best to do this on a 80*+ day. The more heat the better. I just used a credit card and my thumb to roll off the excess glue, then used some bug and tar remover to remove the rest

 

ya either an old credit card or a plastic spatula work best

 

If I had to do it again I'd tape off the area around the bow tie with painter's tape before starting. I even used floss instead of fishing line to prevent scratches but there's still little scratches if you look at it in the full sun. Need to get it buffed up. But I agree that heat is definitely key!

 

officially took off the emblem today and all went good just have to buff out the excess glue that is still there but looks good

 

in for ****

 

Don't use a heat gun unless you're very comfortable at using it. A standard hair dryer on a hot day is more than enough to debadge.

 

i waited for a good hot sunny day and just pulled the ones off my altima by hand....used some rubbing alcohol to remove the residue....no fishing line or goo gone or heat gun for me

its all about the warm sunny day

 

Great info, Might go do mine.... RIGHT NOW!!!
