Debadge on 2010

[11Hem1]

If I Debadge my Ram and take off the tape between doors will the paint be brighter underneath
if so if I clay and polish then wax will it blend in?

there might be a slight ghosting affect. Clay will clean the paint, polish might help with the ghosting

It's what I did and you couldn't tell the badges were ever there....and I have a black truck!

what polish did you use?

Its' a possibility... but Idoubt you'll have any ghosting with a 2010. I debadged my 05 in 2008 and had no problems whatsoever.

Ive debadged 13 of my own and friends vehicles now and I have yet to see one with unmatched/faded paint that didn't look great after.

I used Meguiar's Clay, Polish and Wax...a little elbow grease but I had no issues.

For me, it wasn't so much ghosting as it was two years worth of grim that never got cleaned out from between the badges. There was minimal ghosting and whatever was there came out by hand. I was pleased with the results.

Oh man I noticed the same thing! Way less wind resistance on this bad boy, plus shedded some pounds off it and saved weight haha

Each 100 lbs of badges you drop is typically a .10 seconds faster!
