I showed up to do a mini detail and the customer asked me if I could put this on. I said of course, anything for this customer! She's my favorite and I wish all people were like her and her husband! So she handed me dental floss, a new badge and I was on my way.
Preparation:
After washing the car, claying a D156 Express Wax was applied I was ready to work on it.
So I guess that's prep.
Tools:
Glide dental floss. ( I wasn't prepared to do this and I would have preferred fishing line. I'm getting some to keep in the van for next time)
Plastic and Metal Razors. The metal razor was used to sharpen the plastic razor so don't freak
I didn't use a metal razor on the paint.
Tarminator to remove the adhesive on a terry towel.
M105 to polish it up
D156 to shine it up
Here's the broken one that she's had for years. So it's about time to replace it.
Action shots of the process:
Dental Floss. I just gently slid it through the foam adhesive. Broke a couple of times. Fishing line works way better.
On to the foam residue. With a sharp plastic blade I pushed to foam off the paint without causing damage.
Here's me sharpening the plastic blade with the metal blade.
All the foam off and on to the adhesive residue
Sprayed a little Tarminator on the adhesive
Gently rubbed in a back and forth motion for a minute or 4 and it came off with ease.
Micro fiber and M105 and the little scratches and just dirt around the old emblem were all gone and ready for the new badge
