Debadging Help!

[Big Ups]

Hey guys, new to the boards and currently working on my 2003 Tahoe. I was planning on debadging the whole truck today, but after I did the Tahoe logo on the driver side door, there is still a lot of residue on the side.

I have a hairdryer, fishing line, Goo Gone and some spot cleaner but I still have residue on the door!

I need help! How do I get this off and how do I make this a little easier?

Thanks

You could try a degreaser and some elbow grease. Thats what I did when I had to remove some stubborn double sided tape. Just grab a towel and spray a little degreaser on it and start scrubbing, don't scrub too hard though TAKE YOUR TIME and it should come right out. Also remember to use a CLEAN or possibly new towel to minimize scratches.

Roger that. Thanks man, I'll try it out.

I used stuff called Oops adhesive remover, can be bought at auto parts stores. It comes in a little metal can. Worked great for me, the sticky stuff basically melts off. I didn't use a hair dryer or or heat gun. I used oops and plastic putty knives. Follow up with some wax when your finished to make it look great. I used Meguiar's Scratch X 2.0.

I just got done doing mine this past weekend. Takes alot of elbow grease and patience. I used plastic a plastic scraper and LOTS of goo gone. Heating gun helps too but be careful not to hold in one spot too long. After about 5 hours of scrubbing it was all done. Well worth it! Looks way better!

Wow 5 hours! I did my whole truck in 1 1/2 hours using Oops! But your right, it sure makes our trucks look way better!

That was with the door moldings too. That last little bit of tape residue was not fun!!

I probably should get a plastic scraper. And how hard is it to remove the moldings? I'm guessing there is a ton of adhesive?

Removing them is the easy part. Getting the adhesive off is the time consuming part. Try to get a friend to help you! It will go faster!

Go to a professional paint supply store and get yourself a 3 m rubber wheel. Attach it to a cordless drill to remove the glue and residue. Then use a cleaner wax after. Good to go.
