CHOSENMAN007 81 Report post Posted February 8, 2014 I want to remove the toyota decal on the back of my car. Any one know of the best way to remove this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted February 8, 2014 get some dental floss, boil a kettle pour it over the badge. The run the dental floss behind the badge. Use tar remover or something of similar calibur to remove the sticky residue. It can take a while.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHOSENMAN007 81 Report post Posted February 8, 2014 Cheers rob. was going to use a blow dryer to heat it. Saw it on youtube, but hot water sounds better mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted February 8, 2014 Either method should be fine but you may find the water helps lube the floss and allows you to kinda saw away more easily. It is just the letters you want removing right....not the actual Toyota Badge right? As that has 2 pins to located it so because removing that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted February 8, 2014 A blow dryer will work, I only say boiling water as it's the only thing that will get rid of condensation under the lacquer which probably isn't prominent on the GT86 but on older cars most certainly is! As Keith said, yes you should use the floss as a saw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rab 60 Report post Posted February 9, 2014 Just to add to the dental floss (or thread) trick - tie knots in the floss/thread at 1cm centres - gives more cutting action 1 rob275 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CHOSENMAN007 81 Report post Posted February 15, 2014 Hey all.. The junk is finally off the trunk. I used boiling water, fishing wire, Auto Glym adhesive remover and t cut scratch remover. Such a difference without the "Toyota" on the back. Looks sleeker! Would be nice to post a pic but we only have a 500kb limit lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam43 2 Report post Posted January 3, 2015 I can report the kettle technique worked very well for me.. I only removed the TOYOTA badge. I had a hot air blower on stand by, but didn't need it. Polish was good enough to remove the residue of gunk. Thinking about taking the GT86 badge off too. Not sure. More importantly, hello everyone.
