rony Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 No holes, no touch up. Use a hair dryer to soften the doublesided foam tape that holds the badges on and either use some fishing line or just pry them off with your fingers, NOT nails. Becareful not to damage the paint. Once the badges are off, you will need to clean the adhesive off. I find that you can gently rub it off with your finger until the whole surface is clean. After that, give her a good wash and wax. And if you know how, maybe a polish. My Car vBGarage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Schneider Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 De-badging is the way to go. For a clean, marketing free apearance to your wheels, its 1-2-3 easy. After all its a car not a billboard, right.

macman Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I just did it to my car the other day. Dental floss works well also to take the badges off, and instead of a hairdryer, you can also leave your car out in the sun to warm up the adhesive.

merck Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Does the Subaru symbol also come off without a hole on the wagon or is there a depression for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
