Debadging Problem

[DOOKEY]

Not to mention the weight savings from the badge removal.

Ahh crap. How do we regain the HP lost from removing the stickers?

I always debadge. Also, did my neighbors new ram not too along ago.

I always debadge as well, took off the wrangler stickers within the first week but haven’t decided on the rubicon hood stickers yet

Even though it's named a Wrangler it never should have been, just a horrible name for such a vehicle. I removed only that

I also try to find unique ways to hide or rid my Jeep of logos and brands. Im in the process of modding a motobilt bumper to remove the M.

Is it best to debadge using the hairdryer and fishing line or the eraser wheel? The eraser wheel makes me nervous. I'm afraid it's going to mess us the paint...

My Rubicon is Type R.

I have a Type S

Hair dryer then wipe off with clean rag with Windex or generic window cleaning brand

I had to clay bar my hood 4 times to remove the sticky residue from my hood. You couldn't see it after removing the sticker until it rained.

For all those trying to get rid of adhesive...get a bottle of Goo Gone Gel from Amazon, Walmart, local craft store, etc. Doesn't hurt the paint...just wipe it on, let it soak for a few minutes, wipe off. Even works on thick two-face tape residue. Dab it on thick and let soak, then wipe off. Then hit it with some car wash soap or quick detailer to remove any left over greasy Goo Gone residue.

I plan on doing this with a hidden antenna. How are you running your antenna?

Now, there's a money-making opportunity: de-branding the factory and aftermarket accessories where the manufacturers have promiscuously pressed/punched/stamped/welded on their names and logos.

I've been pleasantly surprised at the sheer number of Jeep owners who don't want to provide free advertising in the manner of the aforementioned branding, and have taken measures to remove or hide names, logos and the like (this thread being just one of several recurring discussions on the subject.)

It is a sort of arms race. E.g., there's any number of aftermarket bumpers and fender liners that have brand names and logos that are punched out of the steel during the fabrication process. No easily removable stickers for them! I wouldn't believe a manufacturer who told me that this particular manufacturing method wasn't on purpose.
