I would use fishing line, and then goo gone. That is what i have always used. Also a blow dryer or heat gun comes in handy to heat up the glue/tape for easy pulling apart.

 

I removed them all...the problem I'm having is my truck is 10 years old and I don't think goo gone will be strong enough...I bought some goof off this morning and about to try it...any other products u think that will work ???

 

I had to scrape with my fingernail to get the black sticky stuff off, this was done on a very hot day in Austin and the truck had been sitting outside. That left just a thin layer of clear sticky stuff which I removed with 90% isopropyl alcohol. Then a quick layer of wax over it.

 

No sun here, but I'll give it a shot with a hair dryer or something...thanks for the input...

 

Goo Gone auto is some pretty strong stuff. It should work. If not, like Carbeaux said, finger nails is about your best option.

 

I'm trying goof off tomorrow, so we'll see...thanks

 

Turtle wax makes a spray for adhesive remover..used it for my letters and came right off..

I'll keep that in mind...thanks

 

fishing line, hair dryer, goo gone and if all else fails break out the detailing kit

 

no kidding...

 

Alcohol solves all.

Life got you down? Drink up. Sticker removal? Done. Need to pass smog? Whoops I didnt say that...

 

I know exactly what u mean...off tomorrow, so one way or another alcohol WILL be involved...:redblob"

 

There was consumable alcohol involved. Did I mention it was damn hot out there?

 

Well, badges are gone...now moving to the chrome part of mirrors, and door handles...not a clue in how to remove them...lol...sorry about the pic size...still don't know how to post them bigger...

 

Just did the full de-badge today. Spider wire fishing line to "cut" the actual badges off. Then there was 16th inch of double sided goo. It was in the 60's when I did this note. Used a plastic puddy knife with a gentle edge. *User beware as it takes a lot of care to make sure that no edge pressure beyond what you would apply with your finger nail hits the clear coat.*First set of side badges I tried to heat up the goo and it really didn't come off cleanly. Lots of scrubbing with a clean t-shirt and goo gone. Last set I actually didn't heat the goo and just rolled it off with the plastic blade or my fingers. Maybe because it was a newer truck or cooler temps but the goo rolled right off when it was cooler. Then the goo gone portion was a cake walk as there was less adhesive to remove. Wiped it down and cleaned it to get the goo-gone off then applied a couple coats of syn-wax.
Voila'...no stickers no badges. Nice clean Titan.

 

Debadged my '14 Pro4X yesterday and today. Looks great w/out the letters, very clean! What I noticed was...

1) started by prying on the letters with a plastic caulk removal tool, with a microfiber cloth to protect the paint. Luckily I didn't scratch any paint, starting on the tailgate "PRO4X", and broke the flat blade on the tool after getting the "4X" free. Picked and picked at the black adhesive, a pain, even with longer finger nails. Breaking the tool was a blessing in disguise, because...
2) bought a $1.39 tint blade from "O O O OReilly's", very soft and pliable, to work the letters. I was able to wedge the tint blade between the adhesive and the letter, and the letters came off much easier without any paint damage or scratches. It was still a pain to pick the adhesive off until...
3) I found that if I picked the adhesive enough to pull it slowly away from the paint, like the 3M wall hooks adhesive tape removal describes, it would stretch the adhesive and the adhesive would come off quick and clean leaving very little residue. A quick wipe w 90% Isopropyl Alcohol and the surface was clean.

It took me 30+ minutes to pry, pick and clean the residue on the "4X", and about an hour and a half to do the remaining letters. Texas heat, so there was no need for a gun. I worked the tailgate in the shade (85+) yesterday, and the L/R doors in the sun today. In the shade, the adhesive will pull better but leave more residue. In the heat, I had to pull easier and slower, but had less residue to clean.

Amazing how much better the truck looks! We don' need no stinkin' badges! The 6" RC lift gets installed next week, along w Ballistic Jesters and Nitto G2s. I got chills, they're multiplyin', and I'm losing control!

Apologies for the long post. Hope this helps someone!

Fishing line and DW-40 thank me later lol

Edit to late

 

I found some goo gone in a small can at autozone for removing adhesives and such and it works pretty well. Think it was like 5$ and called goo gone automotive.
My process:
Hairdryer
Peel off - use fishing line or zip tie if you can't get it
Hurt your fingers and get as much off as you can
Goo gone on microfiber until its clean.
Ultimate Polish to remove the scratches youve made with your fingers and the rags.
Say im not doing that again and next day repeat process

 

3m adhesive remover works great. I also use eraser wheel to remove any stubborn sticky residue on the paint.

 

Word of advice to everyone: Eraser wheel works great if you know what you're doing, watch some videos on YouTube. You have to be very very careful or you can do some damage. The first time I used it on a Tahoe I messed up some paint, then decided to watch the videos.

I just use it for boats and such now... and try to keep it away from cars.
