Try to pick up an eraser wheel. You can remove it with your fingers, but you will have blisters and your fingertips will hurt for a week.

This. An eraser wheel will work great. Don't forget to buff when you're don't though.

Sent from my twin turbo Desire using diesel fuel.

yah...my fingertips hurt like a mf right now. had to stop doing it that way. i got 1500 off on one side and had to stop. is an eraser wheel worth buying for just having to do it one time?

Yes, definitely yes on the eraser wheel. I got one just to do my badges after attempting to remove adhesive with my fingers, ouch lol

yes, it's like a rubber compound material.

Search for 3m Stripe Off Wheel. You can use it with a drill. It really does save alot of time and pain lol. I got mine off Amazon for 20 shipped.

i got one side done and the other half way done, hate to buy one just to finish up the side and the tailgate. maybe i should just get one though. anyone tried a buffer and rubbing compound? or is that a bad idea??

Just duct tape the badge back on till you get the eraser wheel :D. Yeah, a buffer with compound should be fine.

i tried it that way, didnt come off as easy though. i got the badges off then got off what i could with my fingernail. after that i just took a buffer and some compound and it came right off, buffed it with wax after that. looks alright to me. no scratches anyway...

I bought my eraser wheel when I debadged my 07. I have used it on my 07, my brothers 03, my dad's 08, my 2010, and I also debadged a few friends trucks. They last a long time, and are extremely easy to use. Glad you got yours all setup now though. Do you have any ghosting in your paint where the badges were?
