Removing rear model badges
How hard is it to remove the "535i" badge off my car? What kind of mark will it leave behind?

Remove the badging with dental floss.

I use small fishing line. Put on some good leather gloves and wrap the line around both your hands and then work it down between the badge and the car while pulling towards you. Use a sawing motion to help cut through the adhesive. Once it's off use some bug & tar remover to get off the left over adhesive, then immediately wash it really good and wax.

Use a tiny bit of Lighter Fluid to get the goo off... or just use Goo Gone!

I removed all the trim and logos on my truck with "bug & tar remover". That included the 4" wide trim strips all the way down the side and all the logos on the tailgate.

Nice truck Brodee, I have the same one but no lift. Tough to work out of it being that high.
I do not have a hog in the back though. Nice scooter!

Thanks, I actually bought that when I sold my M3 then sold it to get back into bimmers. Wish I had it back to tow the e30 with. Still have the bike though
