Bug and tar remover worked great for me... And my wife's hair dryer. I'm thinking about doing her ridgeline now... ;)

dont forget to use a cleaner wax of some sort, otherwise there WILL BE a ghost/impression. And if you have the skills, wet sanding is the best way.

I just thought that I would share my de-badge experience. I decided to remove my accord emblem because after it was painted the painter put the accord emblem on the wrong side; and secondly because I have always wanted to remove it. It took about 10 minutes to complete the de-badge. I used hair dryer, dental floss, and glass cleaner to remove the extra-sticky stuff. Here are some pics:

Man, I've been thinking of debadging since my EX has fallen off twice ;) and I have a humongous dealer emblem on mine as well. Looks pretty sweet and easy, everybody's has come out good so far... I'll be next!

Thanks wildman. Yeh the painter did a hell of a job. Stripped the whole car down and painted it. He even painted my engine bay flat black and I didn't even tell him to!!:thumbsup:
