when I got my truck I waxed it once a week haha for 3 weeks. You know how it is when you bring something new home. Now days I complain just washing it.

Just called my local auto body supply store: the eraser is $11.95 there. Local Napa here in Cocoa, Fl. is $24.99. I bought one in a NAPA in Vidalia, GA. last summer for $18.99. So not only is NAPA very high, but they also are not consistent with their pricing from store to store.
You can do without, it's just this tool does it in seconds with no elbow grease on your part. Here is one available online for under $10...

and the one I have that I paid $12.95 for:

I have done it with heat, a plstic scraper, and castrol degreaser. works great and absolutely no paint damage at all.

ORIGINAL: 94rt10ohio

I used fishing line in a cutting motion. Then Good Off, which is the same as Goo Gone, followed by a light polish compound and wax.
Exactly what I did just took some time to get it all off but looks 10x better.

If anyone does decide to use the eraser wheel, go slow with that too, it can "burn" your clear coat if you get it spining too fast with too much pressure. plus the foam tape they use on the badging will melt a little andclump up.
