Taking a quick poll. I want to remove the 'tC' off the back of my car. How did you do it? What else did you remove?

Ty_Max

Dryer and some floss
pull away from the car so you do not scratch it..
Also get some goo gone from some automotive place and use it on the left over residue

^^ I used a blow dryer and a small blade (don't ask).....HAVE PATIENCE, it may take a minute to get it loose....AND WATCH THE PAINT!!!!

When using the hairdryer, make sure you spread the heat evenly. Don't hold it stationary or you'll bubble your paint. From there, use dental floss to remove the badge and then some Goo Gone to clean up what's left of the adhesive.

I'm just repeating what Ty_Max said... lol

RodC

Credit card and fingers. Nothing else.

Ty_Max

Yea sometimes fingers works to...

i did mine the same week i got my car....all i needed was my fingers. just pulled up gently and slowly and voila. no sticky mess or anything to peel off.

I didnt have any fishing line so I used my fingers/nails to pull it out just enough to get a flat head screwdriver (with an old t-shirt over it of course) in without touching the paint. Finished it in 2 minutes. THis was in the middle of August so no additional heating was necessary.

Hit it with a sledgehammer repeatedly. Eventually it will come off!



Just in case I need to say this....I WAS ONLY KIDDING. Blow dryer and floss.

heat it up a bit with a dryer and just pull it off.....get goo gone but dont put it directly on the car because its corrosive, put it on a paper towel and rub it where the badge was before to get rid of any glue or w/e that is still there, then go over it with a lil bit of wax and it'll be like new

I wish I had consulted Scionlife before doing this. I pulled up part of the paint.

Although it wasn't the tC logo, it was the dealership emblem, which might as well have been welded on there.

goo gone is not an automotive product. it is mildly acidic and corrosive to your car's finish. it is not designed for use on auto body, and imo should not be used on auto body.

as i've said in 3 billion other posts...


3M Gum Wax and Adhesive remover is the stuff to use. THAT is an automotive product that can be found at pep boys/auto zone, etc... it is safe on your finish and MUCH more effective and efficient than goo-gone. ie. it will take you half the time to get off the adhesive residue than it would with goo gone.

choose wisely my son.

just use floss to get the emblem off. then wd-40 to get the adhesive off and wipe with a paper towel. works like a charm (make sure you wax the car a little-no harm to the car)

StealthScion

yeah, if you don't want to keep your clear coat, just use WD40 or goo gone.

BlackRose617

just used my fingers

i used a screwdriver...scratched this c-shaped mark behind the emblem...after, I just scratched a "t" to make a 'tC'... =/ pretty ghetto!!!

Hot day, fishing line, removed adhesive with Goo Gone and Meguiars tech wax.

^ RS2 in Mission Viejo? Whereabouts?

rob1n

actually next to cooks corner if you know where that is. It's hard to find some scion ppl (mainly tC's) in my area that are as enthused about modding or could help me mod.

^ Cooks Corner sounds familiar. I'm at Oso and Marguerite, right across from Pavilions. I agree with you though, the Scion people I see act like they are so much better. Need to get SL stickers on my car.
