fishin' line and a warm to hot day! Make sure that you wax the newly exposed area especially if you use adhesive remover. Have fun and enjoy the clean look of a "debadged" ride.

I started debadging truck yesterday and it took me about 2 hours to get the adhesive off using WD40 and the adhesive remover. I quite after I got the badges off the passenger side door. It was about 75 degrees and I decided to get a fresh start in the morning.
Started at 9am with garage at 60 dgrees. Did the Driverside door and tailgate in 30 minutes! The adhesive just rolled right off at a cooler temp. To me it looks like the optimum temp for badge removal would be around 60 degrees.
Just my opinion. I could be wrong.

Hey, I think I will try that. I have yet to do the tailgate and I now have my wife's car to do as well. Makes sense that the two sided tape would be easier to take off when it is not so soft from the heat.
