removing emblems
#43
I am fighting with this. I got all the emblems off, but now I have MAXIMA and the Nissan symbol in glue on my trunk. I decided to be cheap and bought the budget goo-gone knock off, instead of real goo gone. This stuff was 7 dollars for a spray can and it didnt do a damn thing. I will try the blow dryer tommorrow as I can nolong stand looking at all that glue.

Had that happen to me - use a hair dryer (I used a heat gun) to heat up the glue and then ball up a rag and use the rag to rub it off (rub violently back and forth) and it'll come off with ease
Had my glue "XIMA" and the bottom burger half on for like 4 months before I took it off lol

on 2003, you can just remove the badges, googone the surface, and that will be it? Cuz i know a few cars have emblems on like... pegs, and when you remove them there are holes on the body of the car

I'm assuming this method will also work for those little stickers that the dealer puts on the car? I've been driving mine for 5 years in the hot Florida sun with a Maroone sticker. Will I notice the difference in the paint when it comes off?
What's the general consensus... is WD-40 best/suggested or Goo Gone?
Thanks!

All of those glue removers didn't work for me so I went with the heat gun and balled rag method. After the glue was removed, I used a clay bar to clean up the area (the shadow thing will go away after a few weeks)
You're down in TX so the cleaners and a rag might work for you (didn't work for me in Chicago lol)

Please don't keep reviving this thread. It's all been covered.

i just got rid of the nissan emblem on my trunk.. heated it up with a blowdryer then took fishing line and it took the emblem right off.. and with the sticky adhesive..i just kept on heating it up and pealing it off little by little worked great.. no outline or anything.

Can we get a picture of the truck with no emblems? I want to do this but think that the key hole to the trunk will look funny just hovering in the middle of the trunk. Might just have to remove the useless key hole too!

keepin the thread alive...
Here's an old cellphone pic of mine. When I bought it, the X was broken and the second I was missing, so I pulled all the letters off.
This weekend I Niteshaded the tails and installed a black lic plate frame and smoke cover. Now the Nissan logo and keyhole stick out more than ever. I am going to remove the Nissan badge and paint the keyhole black now.

ya i debadged mine but it left some of the sticky stuff on behind the letters. Bug and tar, goo gone, etc nothing seems to take the stuff off because it's not just the sticky residue, it's that + some of the stuff between that and the letters. whatever it is it sure as hell doesn't want to come off.

I debadged mine a few weeks ago, and i ended up buffing off the sticky goo behind the badges. Took me about 30 min to fully clean it and in the end i had a very very clean trunk...in the middle of winter.
