I wanted to do as many of you have and remove the "ES" and symbol from my trunk. I was wondering if there is any special procedure for this. Any good ways to remove them? Does it leave glue marks or anything? I'm very paticular when it comes to exterior stuff, even the smallest thing!

 

just an fyi here .. noobs get crap for not searching on this board before asking questions.

I used a blow dryer, dental floss and goo gone for glue removal. Wax after and good to go.

yep what they said.

n00b!!!!

 

well its not like anyone tells the noob about the search before their first post like this. gotta give them some credit. but seriously search next time.

 

okay sarcasm is lost on the internet.

dood your getting a search function!

 

ok people, how much F'ing trouble is it just to be polite and give me an answer instead of being **** about it and whining that i didnt "search" first. maybe i did search, and searched for the wrong thing? WHO CARES. It's a simple question, it's not going to hurt anybody if theres already a thread like this.

by the way...this like like my 17th post at least....not my first.

and to digdat, thank you for at least answering my question.

 

try rubber cement thinner too i think by bestine or sum **** it's gentle on the paint and the badge just falls off.

 

dont take it personal, it has happened to everyone one time or another. But when you have over 7000 members on a forum it can get real sloppy with reposts and such. Blow dryer, dental floss, goo gone, check!

 

heat it, floss it, goo gone it, wax it,

 

I second that I substituted braided fishing line for the floss cuz its tougher

 

thanks again guys

 

i heated each letter with blow dryer for about a minute each, then used dental floss to get them off. then heated the glue for a minute, then used Meguiars "goo-be-gone" and a damp wash rag to get the glue off. after all emblems were off, i did a once over with goo be gone to remove all other nicks. Then i whiped the trunk with a damp rag, dried, then waxed with Meguiars wax. I keep the lancer emblems and mitsu emblem in a plastic baggy in the glove box, in case i ever need them. After i took off the OZ Rally badge, i stuck it on the silver brushed part of the dash, because it was still sticky and i though, hey why not. Be sure not to 'scrape' the glue off with a hard surface, because it will leave surface scratches on the trunk

 

I took mine off with my fingers and a putty knife.

But next time I would use wd-40,,,,, that stuff removes everything.

 

the stuff i have from meguiars "goo be gone" spray removes anything. even tar!! it removed hard gum that had been stuck to my floormat for 7 months!! that stuff rox
