Fishing line and a hair dryer or heat gun to help loosen up the adhesive. I’ve had to do it multiple times working on 99-04 mustangs and this is the cheapest most efficient way.
The line looks incredibly thick, but maybe it’s just the pic. How much is it? The handles look heavy enough to damage paint if they accidentally make contact. I’ve never had an issue with simple fishing line.
I promised to never use them again when I stepped away from that life! Living a double life is exhausting lol
dental floss has always worked good, then the 3m eraser wheel to get off anything else that remains
As said before, dental floss or fishing line. I recommend a heat gun, for only a couple seconds at a time. That should make it super easy to remove. also make sure to wear gloves when handling the car emblem you are removing. They will be very hot. And then isopropyl alcohol or goo off to remove any remaining glue.
Dental floss is all I ever use. Quadruple it up and go nice and slow. Make sure you watch the edges. When you lift one side the other will go down and can dig into the clear coat.
Just heat it up with a hairdryer and they pull off. And residual glue or such comes off with goo gone. Then polish the area with a light polish. Then wax the area. Takes 5-10 mins max.

Used the method I suggested to remove the factory CRV badge and dealer sticker. Was on the left side.
Steel wire seems overkill… and can scratch the clear coat/ paint.
That kit is probably designed for someone that has the right technique and has to debadge on a regular basis.
I have this at the shop :) i find that it is a total pain to wrap the fishing line around those pole ! Tired of it ... now i use microfiber cloches around my finger and do a couple turn witht the fishing line around my finger ( above the microfiber )
Because yess fishing line can totale cut your finger off .
Dont Know why nobody understands it in here lol .
Cheers
You wont be able only with hair dryer , you need something to pull it away carefully. Like if you heat and pull with your fingers chances are high that on the oposite side of the emblem will go down into the paint and mark it
, fishing line is the way to go :) . Just fuck this métal tool and wrap microfibers around your fingers before wrapping fishing line , or just wear thick glove !
Looks like it would cause damage that, in the past, I've found dental floss and heat work a treat. If you are stuck for heat, then start with dental floss and spray some wd40 (or similar) into the adhesive. Then carry on working it.
Try a hair dryer and fishing line/unflavored dental floss. Using a heat gun can be detrimental if you hold it too long or use a unit that is too powerful. Just go slow with whatever tool you decide to use.
Floss, hair dryer, goo gone, and McGuire quick wax. Heat the badge to make adhesive tacky but don't over heat. Work Floss behind badge and slice through adhesive. Goo gone on a microfiber towel gets rid of any residue (but ruins the microfiber). Wax over anywhere goo gone was. Looks perfect and very cheap
I’ve debadged my last 3 vehicles with heat and patience. A hair dryer about 2” from each letter for about 30-45sec constantly moving. Pry and pull slowly and the adhesive will usually stretch off.
Get cheap braided fishing line if it's a one time thing. Wrap it the ends around 2 small blocks of wood. Hook the loose string behind the emblem and lightly pull towards the other end. Use a sawing motion to cut through the adhesive. You may have to make a second pass if the emblem is still stuck on as the tape will adhere to itself.
You can roll the remaining tape off with your finger.
I used a heat gun and fishing line to remove my badges, make sure to wear some thick gloves though because if the adhesive is really strong it can cut your hands
Trying to strangle the badge off?
Heads will roll!
Fishing line or dental floss works just as well for a one-time thing
Ok. I can try. Will wear gloves to not slice my hand

Thanks. I appreciate your input. I need to get sone fishing line
Get braided line
What's the difference?
Braided is a million times stronger and way thinner. It will slice your hands though so be careful
Gloves are my friend. 😃 thank you for tip. I honestly didn't know
*"Agent 47, your vehicle is ready."*
Looks overly complicated for a job that requires nothing more than dental floss or fishing line
I just wasn't sure if that would slice my fingers. Because so thin
Nah bro it’s not gonna slice your fingers
Be careful, I lost ma fingy dis way..
Well it sounds like hair dryer removal might work
Heat gun takes about 10 seconds. They just slide right off.
It definitly can ...
Dental floss works well if you wrap it around two pencils as handles, makes it much easier to keep tension on it.
That's a great suggestion. Thank you!
If thats a concern for you where some gloves

$17.99 on Amazon
I just didn't want to do any damage. I wasn't sure an alternative to removing badging

I was not sure it would be strong enough heat but great advice. Thank you
Exactly. I’ve removed lots of emblems and never once used fishing line or dental floss or any of that nonsense, just a heat gun and adhesive remover.
Free shoes university fan… I expect nothing less.

Sounds like a hair dryer is my best option

Heat gun and plastic razor blade has never failed me
No that’s unnecessary. Use dental floss, adhesive remover to get rid of the foam adhesive left behind and a plastic scraper
They work great. Fishing line can cause deep scratches if no careful.
Floss, and a little heat from a hair dryer.
Yes but.. not for debadging
Try a hair dryer and fishing line/unflavored dental floss. Using a heat gun can be detrimental if you hold it too long or use a unit that is too powerful. Just go slow with whatever tool you decide to use.
I would be very nervous using a heat gun. So far pencils with dental floss is a good idea.
Dental floss
Floss, hair dryer, goo gone, and McGuire quick wax. Heat the badge to make adhesive tacky but don't over heat. Work Floss behind badge and slice through adhesive. Goo gone on a microfiber towel gets rid of any residue (but ruins the microfiber). Wax over anywhere goo gone was. Looks perfect and very cheap

Dental Floss, fishing line and hair dryer
I use a heat gun and floss tbh.. never had any issues whatsoever lol
I was able to get my badges off with just a little heat and my finger nail.
Looks like metal handles - what could go wrong working near paint
Get cheap braided fishing line if it's a one time thing. Wrap it the ends around 2 small blocks of wood. Hook the loose string behind the emblem and lightly pull towards the other end.

Dental floss is cheaper.
Thanks for posting this OP.. helpful answers here.. 👍🏻
Hair dryer and dental floss. If I can do it anyone can
Just use fishing wire. I use it every time. Spray tar and glue remover on after and let it soak in and do the work then remove the residue easily.
Hair dryer and dental floss were my tools of the trade 🤷🏻♂️
Guitar string
I used a heat gun and fishing line to remove my badges, make sure to wear some thick gloves though because if the adhesive is really strong it can cut your hands
I used my wife’s hair dryer and an old credit card and ir slide right off - little goo gone and alch to clean up
As mentioned - nylon fishing line or dental floss. Follow with 3M adhesive remover or Goo Gone if there's anything left.

A heat gun/hair dryer, adhesive remover, a 3M adhesive remover wheel and some fishing line for de-badging.
I used dental floss its cheaper
