hmm dunno heat gun is too hot theres a chance it might damage the paint... i took my letters of the trunk and i used a blowdrier and some goo gone... but i think the blowdrier is more safe and it does the job well...

Just heat up the glue (I used a heat gun) and take off the letters (use a little string to scrape it off - like a fishing line). Now for the left over glue, just heat it up and then ball up a clean rag in your hand and just rub the heated glue and it'll come off.

Don't try to scrap off the glue with a screw driver or something b/c that'll scratch the paint. Heating it up is the best method

I'd like to clean up the trunk of my black GXE.....but will the paint have more shine behind the emblems after I remove them?? If thats the case I'll probably just leave them.

Also, are they all just glued on or are there holes for the Nissan badge?

The lettering will fade in time, give or take a couple of weeks. Definitely speeds up the process if you wash it regularly and/or park it in the sun.

No holes. Just an adhesive backing.

i used goo gone on a wash rag... it worked better after the current dosage dried on the rag and more friction was created, and it kind of rubbed it off... the only paint that was damaged was from my finger nail...

my advice... get a damp wash rap and start rubbing really hard... heat will build and your adhesive will start to wear off... just keep spraying some windex to clean everything up ever so often...

I used adhesive remover from 3M and some elbow grease cause I didnt have a heat gun or blow dryer... It came of sweet cause I was lucky enough to have the adhesive peel off letters at a time... The light scratches from my finger nail (which was hurting) was removed with 3M polishing compound very fine...

Whats the best way to take off the dealership stickers they like to paste all over your trunk? heat those up with blowdryer too and scrape-m off?

Most likely heating up the sticker should make the sticker come off as a whole

when I took off my emblems and pinstripes, I used a blowdryer, a credit card (to scrape), and Meguiars Paint cleaner (step 1)... took about 2 hours but well worth it.

i took the letters from my trunk 2 weeks ago. used some dental floss to slide it out. no heatgun or blow dryer. then just put goo gone and just kept rubbing. total time about 45 mins. fingers started to numb a bit after all those rubbing.

I used a sticker remover from strauss... came off sweet, just start at a corner then spray behind and pull slowly... the spray will seep behind the sticker and eat at the adhesive...
