Emblem removal

[frankprozzoly]

I watched a video of how to remove emblems. Does anyone have a 13 accord? I just want to make sure that the accord and sport emblems are glued and there are no holes

Personally I've never been a fan of emblems/badges on a car. Call me lazy, but I think the just get in the way and are a pain get stuff out of

Just us a heat gun and see if they lift off. Most cars the main emblem is not glued and the rest are just stuck on with adhesive tape.

Remove the emblems. It will give it a much cleaner look.

I want to make sure they're just glued on. I'll call the dealership and ask

They is only adhesive on them. Just did a co worker's 2014 accord sprit coupe and no holes. Use a blow dryer and fishing line. If you don't have fishing line, use tooth floss. Lightly heat up emblem, then use your line or floss and work it behind the emblem as if you're trying to saw something and it will come off. Some need more heat than others, but once you start you adjust your procedure.

Thanks. The guy doing it on YouTube used googone

Using fishing line place it behind the emblem and start sawing. Once the logo is off use goof off to remove the remaining adhesive. I don't have a heat gun so I used a torch with no problems.

Just use a hair dryer it will work just fine.

Maybe I had a different type of adhesive but when I removed my emblems the blow dryer didn't help at all. I'm not saying it doesn't work I'm just saying it didn't work on mine which was disappointing. In fact the adhesive on mine was a PITA to remove. I initially did it on my truck for 2 reasons 1 was because I didn't like the big ram emblems on my truck and 2 I wanted to try it out to determine if I should include it in my business. But after spending more time then I anticipated it taking I determined its not something I want to offer to my customers.

That's what i used as well. Worked fine. Had a little left over glue but was removed rather easily with polish.

I always use a hair dryer. Use it to heat the badges up then pull them off. It should leave a thick adhesive. Heat that up and rub it off by hand. May leave slight residue which a bug and tar remover can remove. Then a quick polish to match up the paint and you are set.

Another vote for fishing line... De-badged my cars using it.

And another vote to de-badge.... Clean look and easier to detail :dblthumb2:

I'll try the blow dryer. What about spraying goo gone
