De-Badging help!!!
Hey guys, I followed what everyone else said and got the eraser wheel/pin stripe remover and got the first badge (Hemi) off and clean, and you can see there is a haze in the paint....I followed instructions on not going over 1500 rpms...I tried waxing it, using bug and tar remover and still nothing. I am scared to take any more off...Any ideas???? It's a 2006 black Ram...
Thanks in advance-

It's not just about not going over 1500rpm but also make sure you constantly moved the wheel and didn't stay in one spot for a extended period of time as to not dig into the clearcoat which is pretty tough. It took me a long time to strip my gunk off with my astro wheel. I had plooms of friggen smoke coming off my truck. After i did goo gone, there was still some ghosting effect and still to this day (about 4 weeks ago) in the right light there is but only i can tell cause i know where, when and how the badges were taken off.... Can you possibly post a pic of your "haze" in the paint to get a better understanding of what your talking about???
Actually, i used WD40... It works alot better

Sorry guys! I did not mean to post a question and not get back to you. I went and bought a buffer and it's taking that "haze/"ghost" look out with a little rubbing compound. I will post pictures once I get all this crap off! On to the chrome tail light covers next...
Thanks for all the input and videos!

I just debaged today. I used a heat gun to loosen the 3m tape then you can either just peel the badge off or you can use fishing line to "saw" it off. One i got them off i rubbed the thick 3m tape off with my finger then used 3m tape remover to get the rest off. That 3m remover takes like 5 applications before it all comes off. After that i washed the area then dried it and finally i waxed the area to bring back the shine. Worked mint. I will say that it takes like 15 minutes per couple letters to get all the 3m off. Well worth the time though
