how to: DIY debadge
 
pretty simple job, yet people still ask :confused:
did it the other day, here's a quick rundown + vid

1. heat up badge with hairdryer, for about a minute, regulate heat

2. floss off badge with fishing line until it comes off

3. pick off as much adhesive with your fingers

4. use wd40/ eucaliptus oil/ wax grease remover to remove the excess adhesive

5. use cut and polish to remove the "outline" from where the adhesive was.

6. clean surface, stand back and admire your work.

What brand of cut and polish did you use? I still have a slight outline of my badges even after I took 6 straight hours of trying everything to remove it.
