I want to debadge my truck and put on some stickers I have. Truck was built in Feb of 2000 so its three years old. What is the best way to go about removing the old badges/stickers??? Was going to use hairdryer and fishing line/dental floss.<br><br>And when I put the new ones on I know to strip the wax first, but should I wax it right away???????????<br><br>Any tips/help apprciated.

 

I took mine off my truck. I started with a hair dryer that took forever,so I called a buddy who does body work. He told me a bout a eraser you put in your drill. That worked 10,000 times faster and better. I got mine at the car quest auto parts store. I think it was a 15 or 20 dollar investment. Then I got some 3-m adhesive remover and wiped it down. It turned out great.

 

adhesive remover works well

 

Also dental flosse (sp?) or fishing line works good getting in behind to get them off.<br><br>B

 

I used fishing line to get it started, then pulled them off by hand. Only broke one After that i used a lot of adhesive remover, polished &amp; waxed. If you're going to apply stickers in the same area, i would just clean it up real well and apply the wax after putting the stickers on.

 

Found a heat gun I forgot I had. So between fishin line, dental floss and the heat gun I think we are covered. Just have to hope the weather clears up so I can work on it tommorrow before work.

 

Kat<br> When I did mine, I didn't try any adhesive remover, just a hair dryer. I used my fingers to roll the glue into little ***** then pull them off. My drivers door took about 20 mins. total.<br>The pass side was a huge PITA. My fingers hurt for days :'(<br>I would definately get the adhesive remover.

 

LOL Hey Kat a decated truck nut would work in the weather the way it is. over here it's only misting alittle, LOL I had to work on the ranger out in the mist, washed the quad cab yesterday and didn't want to move it out of the garage to get wet, so I ended up working in the mist.

Yep 98's are both here, the quad and the club, as well as the 92, still gonna get the Mercedes up here though

 

Srtripped off all badges with a wood shim in between adhesive and the badge 3M adhesive will be your best friend throughout this process but when it is done the truck has a CLEAN look. Also removed tailgate stickers and limoed the windows. 8)

 

My truck is a year old and Patriot Blue. Is there a noticable difference in paint tone after the removal of the Dodge and 4X4 stickers from the tailgate?
