Has any one debadged an older black car that has been well taken cared for? I'm concerned with shadowing. It's a 20014 Nissan Altima.
it may leave a little shadow/ghost. I had this happen on our van and simply gave it a very very light wet sanding to see if it was just a reaction to the adhesive in the clear coat. Worked. The only downside may be if it's really old and the car wasn't cared for that the paint around it has faded in color.

It was our 2007 van and I debadged it IIRC in 2016.

Related question, which adhesive remover just flat out works? I need to remove the ESSEESSE badge from the boot of my car, it's faded and old, plus some of the hooks on an E and an S have broken off. You'd think I'd be more careful but I wasn't. A new badge may or may not go back on there but that's based on "future plans".
Thanks in advance and surely plastic razor blades are going to be needed for additional removal but do I need the hairdryer to aid in softening after the badge is removed and old glue is left.

Yes you will need heat (hair dryer is safest) and some dental floss or fishing line to remove the badge. I've tried Goo Gone before, but straight alcohol worked best for me in removing the left over adhesive.
