clay, polish, wax.

Thanks jj, that is what I thought. Shot with some fukken, but didn't really help. had some minor scratches from light rubbing, so I used a little McGuires polish compound still needs the clay bar.

I've done the brand logos and dealership stickers with this process..

Hairdryer to area
peel away
goo-gone to remove sticky
clay bar with Adam's Detail spray and clay
Fine Machine Polish
Wax

Worked like a champ everytime

Good video

Great Video

Just did this on my week old 1500 4x4 and it worked great!!! Thanks for the instructions.

Sweet! No problem!

Adhesive didn't come off as easily as I'd hoped. Got pissed off and did a little scrubbing....good thing my buddy down the street is a painter! Buffed the rough spots out and waxed the whole truck for $50. Either way, damn this truck looks better without the obnoxious "RAMZZZZ 1500ZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!" on the doors. Thanks for the fishing line idea.

I'd pay the $50 just for the wax job. LOL

Got some before and after pics....to show the wax shine? :drool:

The video did the job for me and any leftover adhesive I used 3m adhesive remover worked out great!!!

Seems like I'd def recommend the eraser wheel.

I don't have any before pics, but I have the cherry color. I'll get some after pics when I bring my baby home this weekend. My other baby has been driving it all week.

I actually had to ask him not to buff it like he usually would and leave me a nice polished spot on the doors. The factory paint job on any car is so muddy. I think we are gonna grab some beers and buff the whole truck soon. Turn that cherry into a mirror

May attempt this later today but for clarification, the only badge on a 2012 that has the "pins" is the RAM emblem on the tailgate. Is this correct?

yes, but the rams head in the front grill is held in with clips so if you debadge that one you have holes in the grill shell.

Thanks for the video trupiano, gave me courage to attempt this on my new Ram. I did find using the heat gun helped. For the residue I used goo gone as that's all I had handy. Let the goo soak in but still took some elbow grease to get the residue off after several attempts. Took about an 1hr and half.

And thanks to quietpeen for the clarification. Decided to keep the private parts covered with ram head and hemi emblems. Sure would like to find some nice retro hemi emblems though to replace the current ones.

Here's the final look for now.

brynm · Aug 27, 2012

Thanks guys, new to the forum and new to the Ram. Had it for about 4 days now. Looks like I have part of my weekend planned now. I just need to decide whether I want to pull the hemi badge or leave it.
