    Lightbulb debadging the Civic EK1 1999

    So today I decided it is finally time to debadge my civic EK1.

    I will be leaving the H badges because they require a lot of work due to the holes that will be left when debadged, and just tackling the 'civic' badge to begin with!

    First of all! Here's a BEFORE photo


    First: Applying boiling water
    This will help loosen up the adhesives behind the badge and make it easier to remove while also reducing the risk of damaging the pain


    Secondly: You can use various tools but my choice of weapon will be some dental floss!
    start working at one end and move the floss back and forth dividing the adhesive holding up the badge. pour more hot water in the seams to make it easier.


    THE BADGE IS OFF





    As you can see there is some adhesive left on the body.



    You will require: WD-40, Orange Power (Or any other adhesive remover alternative), A rag or micro fibre cloth.



    Spray some WD-40 on it and let is soak up for a few minutes.
    After a couple of minutes use an old or unused card and start scraping away!




    After I had scraped off most of the adhesive I could still see an outline of sticky glue stuff. This is where the Orange Power comes in.
    Dab some orange power on to a cloth and spread it over the surface area. After a couple seconds, rub it off with a cloth and warm/hot water





    The finished Product!
    You can still see a faint outline of the badge, nothing some T Cut and polish and fix



    The Badge now proudly sits on my desk wall



    Thanks for tuning in Leave a comment!

    using a hair dryer or a heat gun is the easier and safer option.

    Just did this to the mrs civic a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately the adhesive took a tiny bit of paint with it, oh well.

    I've done this on a few of my cars now. The hair-dryer technique works better for sure, except for one time where the hair-dryer caught fire!!! Looks like a good job though, work that T-Cut in well though

    A good buff should get that outline out. I was lucky enough to get my badges removed when mine was at the smashies.

    Looks a heap better debadged
