im not sure if this has been covered but i wanted to just let yall know a little trick i finally figured out...
i just recently bought a jeep, and i debaged it..and it had of course sticky crap after i took the badges off.
My maxima did the same thing i couldnt figure out what to use to get the sticky stuff off. well i finally found a good combo that doesnt seem to scratch the paint and gets the stuff off.
a CD-R and wd40...
the cdr has sharp edges but they are round so it wont gouge the paint, and the wd40 eats the sticky stuff...as well as lubes the scraping those not being harsh on the paint..worked wonders with my jeep....just wanted to pass on what i thought would maybe help some one else out....
so a couple CD-r's
and some WD40..
You're thread title should have been more specific. And why does it have to be a CD-R? A CD wouldn't work?

haha well have the mod make it better, i dont care what cd it is...i was just maken the suggestion that CR-s work great to do it... and there super cheep
thought i would help some one out with a little tip..
they do make razor blades made out of plastic. thats what I use, has a sharp flat edge but doesnt scratch paint.
hmmm well thats somthing i didnt know!!!! thats cool, like i said it was a geek move, to use a cdr and it worked perfect..but im sure there is other things that work to..

+1 for the plastic blades. If it's warm enough outside, let it sit in the sun and removing the badges will be a breeze. Goo-Gone for the left over sticky stuff.
A lot of people use fishing line and run it behind the badges to remove them. I've never heard of that but it's quite common. Plain rubbing alcohol will remove adhesive.
None of those methods worked for me when I debadged about
a month ago.
I got them off with fishing line and a hairdryer, but the adhesive was just stuck on hard.
I tried goo-gone, rubbing alcohol, wd-40, laquer thinner, 3m's adhesive remover, nothing worked....
I tried scraping with a bondo applicator, cd, razor, etc etc....
The ultimate tool (and easily my favorite) is a product made by 3m.
Decal Eraser or stripe-off wheel as it's also called.
does not harm paint or clearcoat in any way, takes off anything on the surface, and is easy to use!
