- How to quickly and easily remove adhesive from a vehicle without hurting the paint.
2006 Dodge Ram
We use 3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover and a Titan plastic razor blade to remove the stubborn adhesive from the badges. It is a quick and easy process if done right!
We hope to see you back for more helpful videos in the future!

Thanks so much...I have some abs plastic trim I want to put on my camaro...the quarter fins..ot came with 3m tape but it's so thin and a few places kept popping up so I thought about using 3m plastic emblem and trim adhesive on all the corners to hold it...
Most useful video yet.
Thank you!
I've been looking for something like this for Months!!!!! Thank you!!! It worked perfectly, with lots of elbow grease
I know its a late reply to your response, but sometimes, depending on the adhesive, it can take a little more "work"!
I had vinyl decals that left some on the car. Lift off got it off and is also safe. It is also low V.O.C. so it won't knock you out. I know some solvents have some really powerful fumes.
There are a lot of adhesive removers that work, but 3m is our favorite!
@@Alexb4u1 I just needed one that is not expensive and that was a little bit less than $7 and I knew it is safe in that it won't melt the paint. If I wanted to melt the paint I have some paint stripper with methylene chloride and that is evil stuff even with gloves it still finds a way to burn your skin. Thankfully you can feel it before it does any real damage but it is evil stuff!
@@charleshines7282 from our experience we have not had this particular 3m adhesive remover hurt paint or us! We use it almost daily! That's awesome that you found a product for less than $7 that does just as good!
@@killercustomwraps8651 I know of a couple place where I can get that good stuff from and those places actually sell automotive paint and all of the needed supplies to work with it. You can tell when you are in one of those places, they often have alight solvent odor in the air. I have never once been light headed from being in those places or they probably would have had to be shut down to upgrade their ventilation.
Thanks, I’ve been trying to use goo gone on this massive foam adhesive piece on my outback. Barely worked. Thinking about hitting it with some heat to loosen the thick stuff then doing this to what remains
From our experience, using adhesive remover works better than heat if the badge is already off! Heat can be extremely helpful when removing the badges though! We typically use the fishing line method to remove badges!
nice
How much vinyl did you use for the wrap? I have a dodge as well and I’m wanting to wrap it I just don’t know how much to get
50 to 100 ft
20 ft
What’s the best to take off glue that’s really dry I took my emblems off but the glue is trynna dry it’s gummy anymore
Heat gun and a scraper
@@bikersoncall that is why I said a heat gun and a scraper. The heat softens the adhesive. If that doesn't work try using some brake cleaner to soften the adhesive
@@shark_bones I was just pointing out 'scraper',
some non-paint savvy people will instantly think
they can grab their floor tile scraper lol and go
to town. I'd just bought a plastic automotive style
set of scrappers for my broken window 'job', hadn't
realized they had a specialized set. Another video
said to use paint thinner, to remove this adhesive,
I have no faith in that but
have some and will give is a shot for shts n giggles.
Have a great day, thanks for the reply..
@@bikersoncall I have seen some people use a razor blade. They run it flat across taking it down layer by layer. Ultimately, there are only two ways to remove them; mechanically or chemically
Eraser wheel. Took me about 20 minutes to take off 5 badges
Will it work on super glue on my car pumper
I'm not sure if the 3m adhesive cleaner is rated to remove superglue!
Will this work with PPF adhesive?
This should work with PPF adhesive, but it should be a lot easier to remove than the adhesive used for badges! When we remove the glue from PPF we spray a large area and let it soak in to help loosen it up, then we use the plastic razor and just lightly scrape the surface. It may take a couple passes, but most of the time it only takes one time over with the scraper!
We're can I find that one at
Sorry for the late reply, I assume you have already figured out an answer, but if not, most Oreillys keep it in stock!
a full 75ft roll will work if you make zero mistakes
would bleach work to whiten it
You should go over with a clay bar to try and pull the contaminants out.
You might have to use 2000 grit sand paper or compound.
I wouldn't advise bleach, but a clay bar can be used if the debris is down in the paint! It works really well for removing debris deposits from the paint! A full paint correction would be what I would recommend if I was not wrapping the truck!
Istg someone used concrete mix on mine
Title should be "how to spend 3 hours on removing tiny decal."
This process only takes 30 minutes tops! The only thing we have changed since this video was made was we also clay bar at the end!
Do u have a better alternative?
Thanks I appreciate it
Tried this with acetone, damaged the clear coat and some paint came off. 😂😂
Oof! We definitely do not recommend using acetone!
If you can see decolorization on a near white color then don't ever do this on a dark colored vehicle. It will look terrible afterwards.
This process works really well on a dark colored vehicle. Typically dark colored vehicles have less discoloration issues than white. White paint shows the oxidation and dirt in the clear coat more so than any other color!
7 mins, 'how to', removing adhesive?
Can someone time stamp the method?
Thanks!
So, pretty much common sense measures that anyone would automatically try on their own?
By the time you made this video I could have de badged the whole truck. 3m has decide products but that adhesive remover isn’t one of them…
The 3m adhesive remover in this video is an industry standard. 3m adhesive cleaner and rapid remover are two of the most used adhesive removers in the industry!
3m is cheap and therefore it isn’t the best. Everybody wants the cheapest product and assume it’s the best. Eulex from Koch chemie works way better. You wouldn’t even need to use a scraper. And yes it’s 40$ for a liter but the fact you can dampen a rag and do whole panels and even half a car at a time without dampening again, makes it worth it. You get what you pay for
At around $20 a can, I wouldn't consider the 3m brand cheap, as far as an adhesive remover, it is still to this day the best adhesive remover we have found, and anyone can buy it at the parts store!
@@killercustomwraps8651 it’s not the best. I’ve used it. Eulex is way better. Dampen a small area on your towel and blot and it dissolves right in front of you. And doesn’t dry. Why do you not want it to dry fast? Because then you don’t need to waste more product and keep reusing the same rag. Again, just bc it can be found anywhere, doesn’t mean it’s the best. 3d adhesive remover is better than 3m. Just like how chemical guys are found in every Walmart but no detailer actually uses them.
@@InfiniteDetailing101 We strongly disagree. Also, 3m adhesive cleaner as well as rapid remover are the wrap industry standards for adhesive removers that don't hurt paint! It seems as though you were looking for a way to remove your badges, but are now critiquing us, even though our method works 99 out of 100 times! As the title says, this video is how to EASILY remove adhesive from a vehicle without hurting the paint. The average person wants to be able to run down to the parts store and purchase a product that will be effective at solving the problem they have. The red and white can of 3m adhesive cleaner is in my opinion as well as all of our employees, the best stuff we have used to date! We have attempted to use around 20 different adhesive removers over the past several years, and 3m is always our go to!
When this video was made 3 years ago, we had tried maybe 6-8 different adhesive removers, and it was our favorite. Fast forward over 3 years now, and out of 20, it is still our favorite!
Thank you for watching! If you need anymore help getting the badges off because your product was insufficient, please leave another reply with the issue your having!
@@killercustomwraps8651 Eulex literally is designed to be efficient. Now I know for a fact that no actual professional uses just 3m. I’ve heard the opposite. Bc again, you don’t want the fast drying stuff. And the aerosol forms. Inefficient.
@@killercustomwraps8651 on top of that. Tell me. On a sprinter van that’s covered all over in adhesive from a goof that removed wraps incorrectly, how many of those cans are you going to go through? Be honest. Exactly. Eulex bottle you’ll only use 1/4 of it. Again. Commercial grade and professional grade will always outdo consumer.
Eraser wheel is so much faster
the eraser wheel does not get rid of all adhesives. It also does not get rid of the discoloring that is left behind after the adhesive is removed. The main reason we don't recommend an eraser wheel is because it is very easy to get too aggressive and burn the clear coat!
@killercustomwraps8651 it does the same thing you just did. Remove the adhesive, just faster. I see someone milking labor rates on their customers lol
@@chamakese55 I see inexperience talking! Thank you for your input. We do hundreds of cars a year, and we still use this same process today! It is a way that anyone removing badges can do without hurting their OEM paint. Im happy for you removing badges for the first time. Turns out you had to look up a video to figure it out, not us!
@killercustomwraps8651 lol sure. I've just told everyone on your comment section a faster and easier way is all. No inexperience here..been doing my own work for over 10 years. Everyone watches everything on fb.
I already know how to golf, doesn't mean I still don't watch golf videos lol
@@killercustomwraps8651 yeah you're correct. I just used a rubber wheel and accidently damaged alot of my clear coat 😢 didnt realize it until afterwards..
