DIY Debadging for the POOR

Post by PoloMyster »

Right people,

As i have just started working on my polo im posting whats hapenning if that makes sense lol,
I debadged my polo today cause i was bored, after spending all my money on Borbet A's ooo im so euro haha ,i couldnt afford the adhesive remover!

So if your as poor as me this is for you:

Hair Dryer: heated the badges and peeled off

Cant afford adhesive remover so what i did was heated the adhesive till its solidified like a rock and stuck to the car.

Then sprayed some DW40 to avoid scratching and with the already removed badges scrapped it all off whiped it clean and Voila!

haha

Aye tis a much reknown method. And if your even poorer and don't have a electricity, let alone a hairdryer, a good ol' tip is to cut the sticky foam tape off with a guitar string or fishing wire 8)
