I debadged my car last night. I first used a heat gun to remove the silver top layer-then, I used cleaner wax (thanks Swee) to remove the glue like substance. A little elbow grease but I really like it clean & plain.

 

that is FRESH!!!! loooks real clean

 

Coolmax, I know I'll sound dumb with this question, but what's cleaner wax? What brand did you get?

I removed the pinstripes and still see some residue, I want to clean it all out and so far not so good. It seems that product will do the job.

 

very nice, but I thought the center mounted nissan burger left holes

 

nice sunroof

 

Cleaner Wax is a catch all name for a slightly more aggressive wax with more 'cutting power' that can remove heavier swirl marks, residue and such.

Try Meguiars ScratchX, it's worked well for me in the past.

 

Goo Gone works pretty good too. That's what I used when I debadged my car. Just make sure and wash all the Goo Gone off when your done.

 

??????? what does that mean?


Looks nice hurley good work

 

lol that is a good laugh

 

Cccccccccclllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaann nnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have to say, as I continue to look that the picture, I love the rear of the car without the Nissan badge on it. Now I might have to consider taking that off...

 

I mean i undesrtand what you said but why would you waste a post w/ saying "nice sunroof?" when the thread is OBVIOUSLY about his new wing and debadge job...

odd


Im also a fan of no "NISSAN" emblem but on my "LIP" / "SPOILER" it has to have one

 

First mod i do to every vehical, But there is an easier way, Use some fishing line, just run behind the badge and work the line up and down it will leave zero adhesive, and wont hurt the paint.

 

lol man fastmax05 you always catch the off topic stuff which cracks me up.

 

very clean i like it good job

Thats what I used along with goo gone....I'm lovin it too! The debadged white max looks clean as HE@#!

 

I don't get it either... especially when it is the skyview roof and not a sunroof.

 

this kid is a laugh... him and i got into it earlier about his Radar detector post in the 6th gen forum?? WTF?? o well it got moved like it should have... thanks mods...

anyway... I second the fishing line thing... thats what i did.. came out great....

 

hahah yea man its cause' i was a mod on a previous site and i was the best for making sure the forums would notget clogged up w/ garbage... SOOOOOOOOOO many ppl post some stupid stuff for a bump in their post # ...

Maybe ill be a mod here some day haha

 

I think what he is saying is my ride sucks except for the sun/sky/moon roof.

It's subtle but keep in mind he is "Sick" with a SE.

 

hahahaha well said hurley hahah

 

Very clean of course! I wouldn't expect anything less. You do great work, as always.

Envy is setting in.....

I have the lip spoiler also, and when/if I work up the courage to start peeling cosmetic stuff off of her, I have to leave the burger on the spoiler.

Must mop drool off keyboard.

 

Even though de-badging is not really my thing, but I must admit yours does look very nice. As a matter of fact the whole damn car is nice, great job!

 

Which tips did you use for your exhaust?

 

Looks really clean.

 

Looks great!

 

I think the tails need to be cleared now. . .or maybe smoked to match the tint? Otherwise, hella nice! you could always get the SS license plate surround that sez "MAXIMA" so you still have some brand Identity. . .or are you trying to hide the fact you're in a nissan?



Kidding! Love the look!

 

Cool, Looking great. Nice, clean and white. Bring er on over to So Cal so we can all check it out.

 

Very clean debadging!!! Good work. Makes me wanna go do this to my Max.

 

wow your car looks nice & clean, to bad mine is a lease.

 

I just pulled the maxima and 3.5 sl badges off...looks clean. left the nissan badge though

 

Smmmooooottttthhhhhhh! I love the clean look of a debadged vehicle.

Part of police training in some areas is to be aware that criminals sometimes debadge their cars, as that helps to prevent victims/passersby/etc from being able to identify the vehicle. Because of that, it might be that, in a few areas, a debadged car would draw more 'attention' than a badged one.

But that would seldom be the case with a 6th generation Maxima, as it has such pronounced styling that anyone who has ever looked closely at one would still recognize it, badged or debaged.

I thought about debadging my SL, but decided to keep everything on it so I would not have to replace stuff when it came time to trade. I'm lazy that way.

 

To anyone that has debaded there maxima, is there holes left under the badge or is it smooth?

 

LOL Grave digger...

Yes 2 holes left if the Nissan burger is removed...

 

hmm mine had no holes what so ever.
Maybe I am reading this wrong.
I shaved the nissan burger logo , Maxima, and 3.5 SE ,,,none had holes, just was stuck on there with some black sticky. I had to do a little scratch repair kit after I debaged it though. Had some swirls under the burger.

 

My holes are where the stainless steel screws are. I have a custom Nissan emblem but that is where my rear burger was at on the trunk spoiler.

 

if you have an 04-06 with stock lip spoiler, there will be holes when you remove the nissan emblem.

But if you have no lip spoiler.... then you are safe!

 

I could be wrong but he lists his car as an SE which I thought all came with a lip spoiler. For the SL's it was an option or most had no spoiler in which case yes the Nissan Burger can be removed without leaving holes.

 

I got the same emblem Chern, everyone stares and asks me about it, it looks very good!

 

That looks clean. Nice work. So I'm about to do this to my 07 when I get a warm day. Are there holes under the 6.5 gens emblems? I also think I'm going to leave the "Maxima" on there so no one confuses it for an altima, and just lose the "3.5 SE" and Nissan logo. What do you guys think?
