yeah i pulled back the tailgate molding tonight just to get an idea. i see some strips of tape plus a lot of dirt/dust.

i think once i pull it off, im gonna spray it down. will the eraser work on wet tape? i just don't wanna buff the tape off and scratch my truck.

not sure about wet, yeah, spray it down real good to get most of the dirt but it wont hurt the paint unless maybe you leave ALOT of dirt on it

I debadged my entire truck last week, the only thing i left on were the RAM1500 badges. I also had the chrome trim kit which i also removed.

What I used was a heat gun and a metal 1.5" scraper (IF CAREFUL YOU WONT DAMAGE PAINT) don't overheat, just enough to heat glue and scrape. any residual glue can be removed with a clay bar and spray wax. and if it's really stubborn...use WD40. (don't use WD40 with clay bar, it'll melt the clay)

I also debadged with no issues. The eraser wheel saved my ****(made it a lot quicker). One thing is you may need a buffing and rubbing compound then a good wax to get rid of any ghosting in the paint.

I started debadging my truck today, along with everything else I had to do, I only got the pin stripes off the driverside but left outlines of the stripes. I removed them by hand and didn't remember about the eraser wheel until after all I had left was the hood. So now the wheel is in the mail and I can continue the debadging in a few days.

Not yet...I'm going to pull it eventually because a bunch of junk caked up behind it that I can't get rid of even with a pressure washer.
