Debadging
Okay now I have heard it being thrown around and I have a pretty good idea as to what it is but correct me if I am wrong.... Is debadging taking off all idicators of what the car is???For example taking off audi and a4 on the back as well as the logo???
If this is true how exactly do u do it?????? |
RE: Debadging
In my opinion debadging just means taking off the emblems of the car in order to make it look cleaner. To what extend? It is up to the owner as some preffer to keep the rings on and some want to remove the rings off.
This topic has been covered many times but as to how to do it, there is a DIY article in the DIY section of this forum. Debadging basically consisted of heating the emblems (can be done with hair dryer), removing the emblems, and at the very last removing the left over glue (could be done with lots of ways; GooGone for one example). Good luck. |

^^is your black factory, to be honest I've been wanting to debadge for the longest time, but I'm rally afraid that my 12yr old paint job will look different under the the badges, and IMO the badge placement on the 96s and those one (i don't know when they changed to the badges lower on the trunk) look pretty good.

https://www.audiforums.com/m_232429/tm.htm check this out... I did this to my 2000 a4 and it turned out really well... any residue or ghost look that is left at the end im sure can be waxed out. It only took me about a half a hour on the whole process and there is no scratches,ghost images, or any indication that the emblems were even there... If later it rains and the water outlines where the emblems were then just another wax job should get rid of that and you will be all set...
