Hey guys,

Wondering if i could take off the rear badges off my 350 without scratching the car? Is it just glued or are they bolted on?

Cheers.

 

glue....

i used dental floss and gung be gone .. make sure to let the liquid stuff do itswork a little bit then use the floss.... use long strikes like a saw and cut the 3mm tape. then use more gunk remover every 15min till its gone.

 

I always use a heat gun.

 

How about using a hair blow dryer?

 

Yeah think a bunch of people used a hair dryer and either floss or fishing wire... but on the nissan emblem though, there are holes behind there if you have a coupe.

 

I removed mine easily with blowdryer and strong dental floss. The only problem is I now have glue still barley stuck on my trunk .. even after washing it several times. I dont want to use GOO-GONE or anything like it, because it ruined my friends paint when he used it. What are you guys using to get this residue completly off. I know waxing it will help ... but i need to remove the glue first.

 

pretty sure goo gone doesnt ruin paint...You can try Automotive tree sap remover. Worked on my truck

 

We don't need no stinking badges. When you do this alot of people will be asking you "What kind of car is that ?". I like when they do that.

One guy asked me this and I said a 350Z. He said, is that a Mazda? LOL. What do you expect from a mustang owner.

 

I should remove mine +P and put a fairlady on it haha

 

Use floss

 

I used Goo-Gone on my super black to remove the badges and the paint looks new, zero blemishes. Hell i used the whole bottle plus i let the stuff soak and bake in the sun. It was then a matter of wiping it clean .

 

i drive a 2003 350z Roadster. Does the nissan badge have holes?

Cheers.

 

an oldie but a goody

there are holes behind the Nissan badge so if you take it off youll have to put another badge over it or get it shaved

 

goo gone works wonders! No paint damage or anything.

did ur friend leave the goo gone for days on the car without washing it off?...

 

i removed my badges but i don't have the time or money to get it properly shaved so i painted two temporary corks that fill in the holes. its ghetto, but it looks 100 times better than the holes, lol

 

No holes behind the Nissan burger on the ZR.

 

^^are u serious? u lucky bastrd

 

There is an automotive goo gone. I brought it at Autozone for like a dollar or so. It is a clear liquid instead of the orange/yellow liquid.

One advice is to just take your time. I used a claybar and wax on the remaning residue after removing the badge.

 

I posted on this topic before. After doing the hair dryer/floss removal of the front badge (which I replaced w/ a Courtesy Nissan Z emblem), I was reluctant to tackle the trunk deck. So, I took it to a local body shop who gently pried off the rear badge and removed any adhesive residue w/ an "eraser" wheel. Total charge under $11.00. I then used a little Menzerna Final polish and a coat of Meguire's NXT. No marks, no ghosting, just a clean cheap removal. For those of you worried about scratching or 100% removal of residue, I suggest you consult your trusted bodyman.
