De-Badge- Updated

i remove these on a daily basis at work for PPF, wrap, detailing jobs.... i use a nilfisk steam machine and this pretty much removes them with zero trace, the last pieces that are left i remove with tar and glue. not a massive fan of these toffee wheels on the clear.

i use the steamer at its base temp of boiling water..... i don't crank up the temp at all, so your swan steamer will do the job.... steam the hell out of the adhesive , and slowly prise as you steam, it will really easily release. Steam is what we use in the industry to remove PPF, vinyl etc as it reactives the adhesives and allows easy removals.
 
Steaming was the way forward for de-badge, worked fantastic, thank you BeeDub 8)
I used citrus pre wash first to clean the badge area, then rinsed of.
Started steaming the badge not keeping it in one place for too long.
Then used some fishing nylon to saw the badge off, made sure to pull away from paint work while sawing.
Badge came of easy, some adhesive left behind to steamed it then picked it off with my nails.
There was still some residue's left so used some tar & glue remover which cleaned it off completely

Job done, tomorrow will be washing, polish then waxing.

Car is filthy on the pics I know

no problem at all, steam is the ONLY way we remove badging, i cringe when i see cutting wires or fish line, it really can damage paint... well done for actually listening and executing well, job done!!! i can see you've heated that bang on as you have very minimal glue left.
