when shaving emblems

when shaving the emblems, i heard you should use a hair dryer to soften it up. but wouldn't that mess up the paint?

do it on a really hot day - same thing no dryer needed.

use a really soft cloth, do not use an old t-shirt. and please buy some non abrasive glue remover.

wash then wax after u shave

Just make sure you don't leave the hair dryer on one spot too long on the car or else its going to damage the paint

yes it will.... On a hot day you don't even need anything. Just fishing line and glue cleaner. It will take you a few wash and waxes until you don't notice the old outline.

Use 3M scratch remover to rub off the adhesive, works like a charm

Just make sure you use at least a mach 3 with some gillette cream (I used a mach 10) and it will come right off like a charm..

I didnt do the fishing line or anything. On a hot day, pry it off with your fingers, then go over it with 3m remover. Takes like 5 minutes. Leaves no residue
