Debadging

[Chaz8Mealer]

Next problem.. Debadging. I kinda want the side moldings with the chrome strip on the top. However, I'll have to ride around with the vehicle debadged for a while before ordering the new moldings. Does anyone have pictures of their demolded Tahoes, Yukons, etc?

all you need is a heat gun some goo gone and a pair of mechanix gloves
for all moldings and badges

Here's mine... Use rain x to remove the residue left behind. Works way better then goo gone.

For debadging, an essential tool is the 3M Stripe Off Wheel. I've debadged 3 vehicles and have led others in that direction as well. Saves a lot of time and cramped fingers!

Did you use fishing line to remove the badges?

heat gun on low and fishing line works well, 3M wheel to remove old adhesive

I agree with this method. It's a lot faster too!!

no rain ex technically if you doit right you dont even need goo gone just a heat gun and mechanix gloves because you need to head up the moldings more then people think
the way you can obviously tell your not heating the moldings up enough is your leaving behind tomuch adheseive stop and go to the other end start again and apply more heat and almost all of the adhesive should go with the molding use a plastic puddy nife to start it a good way to tell your getting it hot enought is the molding feels like its pretty hot in yer gloves not to hot to handle but pretty hot

Just noticed that the last 'E' in Escalade on my drivers door is broken from the top and kind of dangling, looks like the whole thing might be coming off Saturday. Where's a good place to get a 3M eraser wheel on short notice?

They may have them at your local autozone. They're at mine so I'm assuming there's a possibility.
