GM logo
I was wondering if anybody had any good ideas on removing the little square GM logo on each of the rear quaterpanels. They stand out on all the black.

I'd probably try saturating with goo gone, then dental floss. Then more goo gone until all the adhesive was gone. Then a good polish and wax to get rid of any remaining mess in the area.
Edit: It might not hurt to heat it up a little either, to soften the glue. Last edited by DropTheTop; 03-20-2010 at 12:14pm. |

I used fishing line on my truck. Works better when it hot out. You can heat it up with a blow dryer, a heat gun may be to hot and mess up the paint. Heat it up with a blow dryer then use the fishing line or dental floss to go behind it sawing it off. Then use goo be gone or a wax cleaner to clean up were the emblems were.

You won't mess up the paint w/ a hair dryer... a heat gun is a bit more intense and could possibly create issues.
Just heat it up good and hot w/ a hair dryer, then use your fingernail to get under the edge and pull it off. If that doesn't work use fishing line. Roll off the remaining double sided tape w/ your finger as best you can then get the remaining off w/ goo-gone or 3M wax & adhesive remover. Basically the same process by which you take a BSM off of a C5.
