TWO YEAR UPDATE: 1: why de-badge? I prefer the clean look and I could care less what model people think I have. People can call it a Corolla if they want. 2: If you follow my channel, you know I wouldn't add an M badge. That's lame as hell

I have a black BMW also and just recently debadged my trunk emblems. It looks super clean with the 5% window tint. I am now ready to traffic drugs throughout the city. Thanks.

Thanks, now my neighbours bmw will be brandless.

The previous owner stuck an STI badge on my legacy....and I don't even vape.

Thank you for this! You never know who's going to stumble across a vid years later. I've been afraid to try this on my 21 year old e39 worrying there were pins that would snap off or worse, that the paint underneath would be discolored but it wasn't. Most importantly, this was the LAST piece of chrome on the car. It looks so clean now and took about 2 mins (then another hour to get the residue off but still!)

The thief who stole my "TDI" probably watched this, it's done perfectly

This was a great video - concise and informative. Thank you. I prefer the debadged look. Some might still want to know which model it is but those who care will know which by looking at the exhaust tips which are conveniently at the same end of the car as the badge (unless modded and perhaps depending on the year and whether or not it's a Euro or American spec version), the 318i and 320i have a single tip on one side, 328i has a double tip on one side, 335i has a single tip on both sides, M3 has double tips on both sides). Those who don't know probably don't care or haven't been curious enough for whatever reason to look into it; they'll be the ones who are like "wow, you have a BMW" and won't know the difference between a 2000 318i and a 2005 330i even when they're sitting behind the wheel because they're going to drive it the same way they would drive their Toyota Carolla.

Great video, straight to the point without all the chatter. Thank you. 👍🏻

Thank you so much for just getting straight into it. All the other ones talk to much or have an intro that’s half their video

Don't do it, because peoples will be like HEY LOOK AT THAT 316i.

The original owner debadged my 330i before I bought it. These cars look better debadged imo

I didn't find it helpful as this is something I wouldn't do. But I'm gonna give you a HUGE thumbs up just because you speak well, are concise, and every other word isn't, "umm", "it's like", "I'm all", or "you know". I wish more kids, let alone nitwit adults, could convey their thoughts and ideas as well as you. Cheers.

Love the videos bro! Keep them going. Been binge watching them while in isolation. I also pick up my 2009 E90 320i tomorrow!

Its the little things that count.

Thanks for this! Just de-badged my c250 Mercedes! Looks so much cleaner and now most people think it's a c300! Lmao, I'm cool with that.

Nice video; good instructions. Just one thing, I recommend wearing rubber gloves when you're using the "dissolve-it" and the "degreaser" and anything else. You do NOT want that stuff being absorbed into your body....not even a little bit of it. The cumulative effect can be Cancer....yea, after 20-30-40 years of "just a little bit", you can develop pancreatic or liver cancer. Wear gloves...

Good video, I didn't have any of that spray stuff so I just took it off dry with floss, took the sticky Shit off dry with my finger nail and cleaned it up with a baby wipe, 5mins and it did the job just need to put a bit of tcut on it then it's finished 😀

I just used grape seed oil (you can use any oil). Slick on stick equals neutral. Works on jar labels and tree sap. Damp cloth and a little vigorous rubbing. The plastic letters I pried off first with a knife. Some heat helps but didn’t need it. Vw Jetta 06

Once you debadge your car there’s no crossing the line. Your in a committed relationship

I just did this a couple of days ago. Used Turtle Wax Adhesive remover instead tho

Great video! I've been working on my Daytona, and the previous owner slapped some inaccurate emblems on it (gold C/S emblems on a Shelby model with red emblems), and I've been wanting to take them off like crazy! Thank you!

Thanks, this is helpful. I have a Nissan 370Z and had to have the rear bumper and rear hatch repainted, so I told the body shop not to replace the stock 370Z and Nissan hamburger badges. The car looks very nice in a clean condition, it's an all-black car. I'm going to apply a single blacked out script Z in place of the Nissan hamburger, since there is an indentation on the bumper that requires something to fill it. I'm going to do the same thing on the front with the stock Nissan hamburger emblem and replace it with a single glossy black Z.

Thanks! Previous owner put a 5.3 v8 engine badge when the engine is only 3.8 v6..

Hey man thx 👍 for this easy step by step process , . After much debating myself, I you tube one video on how too... & It worked it's like it never was there.

Removes Emblems so he can put an M3 Badge on it

That ultra soft voice tho...so soothing

Love your videos brother. Also enjoy the tracks you play over them. Keep making bummer videos Justin.

Hi Justin! Great video love the cleaner non badge look 😊 I live in the UK and Today I am De-badging my Vauxhall/(GM) Vivaro Van which is a beyond.. 🤣 mint green. 🤣 Will post the results your technique on here is by far the best I have seen on you tube. I will subscribe definitely. Keep it up and keep the vids flowing. 😊

I debadged the backend of my 93 Infiniti G20 and I got pulled over and the officer wrote me a ticket for speeding in a Honda civic LOL

Looks good man. It’s all about personal preference. Glad you didn’t stick that M badge on there. I could have added an IPL or S to my G37 but I’m not that lame. Haha. I hate chrome and hate having to dig out the wax and polish from the badges so I took them all off. Looks nicer and much easier to wax and polish now.

Worked like a charm, took 10 minutes. Thanks man

Thank you! We are doing some vinyl lettering on back of truck for customer and this will come in handy.

I just wanted to say that I really like these videos and I'm hoping all the best for you and the future of your channel! These videos help me out a lot, since I'm most likely buying a 2004 330d next weekend, if the car is in pristine condition :)

Definelty doing this with my wrx! Nice video man, really well put together

Personally, I like having the model designation on the back, it stops people assuming I drive a diesel (very common here in the U.K.) But at least you’re not doing what so many idiots do, adding an M-Sport badge 😂

any tip on how to reapply the badge? i’m planning to do this only to readjust the poorly done crooked badge job by the auto repair shop

You have to remove the badge, the legends must be known without the badge!

Fyi an earser wheel works amazing for getting left over adhesive residue off. Sooooo much easy

I’m an older dude, 40’s. I’ve often thought is this a trend? I’ve noticed more BMW and MB being de-badged.

Smh should always have pride on what series u drive

I HAVE A CHALLENGE. I want to remove the “Accord” but keep the “Hybrid” badge. Unfortunately they are so close to one another, spraying 1 badge would affect the other. (I suppose I could try using tape to protect the second badge?) .

I needed this, just swapped out my old M54b25 for a M54b30 and a 5 speed manual, don’t wanna degrade my E46 by keeping the original badges on it 😂

I have just added a 'GTi' badge to my lowly LX, looks fabulous, and adds another 6MPH to top speed!

U should do a video on how to change/ upgrade the angel rings

Can you use a thread as an alternative? Great work by the way!

i used a blow dryer floss and goo gone

Excellent video, I needed those tips

Sweet! I will try doing mine. Motivated now.

Well done video, I learned something new today! Old dog learned a New Trick!

Sorry I couldn't catch what you said in the last step when you used the blue sponge and some kinda wax. What exactly did you do there?

Is desolve it just some American brand acetone?

Try to tint white parts in your rear lights with a red film. It's looks really nice and it's simple to do. I done it on my E90 and it made the most impact on how my car looks ;) With your black paint it should look awesome.

Far better using a heat gun or hair dryer for a few minutes then peeling the badge off. It’ll take the glue off at same Buff the paint afterwards

Luv it! Easy and to the point!

Did you use a buffer or just the rubbing compound ? Towards the end if so which compound did you use thank you?

what is the rubbing compound called?

Debadging rarely does anything for a cars appearance. People in car.circles like to call the debadged look "clean" but imo it makes cars looking bland. The badge adds a bit of pop.

Why those it always have to be about trying to look like we drive a 335i or m3 why can it just be because we like how it looks without the emblem

I see no point in removing the badge. Stock isn’t always a bad thing. Be proud of what you drive and take care of your car no matter what it is

MICHIGAN represent what's up dude!

Thanks a lot now i can safely peel off the M badge from my neighbors e46 compact

Great how to. Super easy. I followed this video and also REP361 both helped me. Thanks again

Use a hairdryer to heat up the badges sticky back and easily peel the badge off , simples

I used liquid turtle wax to get the left over glue off. It sorta combined with the wax and came off nice.

You've been debating it for a while? Jeez!

I just got the 230i in Thundernighy purple with m sport trim. I'm taking badge off asap.

What rubbing compound did you use?

Sheeessh clean ma boy🔥

Love your videos bro!!

Nothing New here doing that for decades but you need to heat them up with a hairdryer first so the glue comes off too at same time when using the string

Hi What’s the name of this string removal?

BRO ITS NOT GOOD YOU DO ON YOUR CAR NOW YOUR CAR LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE 320i OR LOWER MY EMBLEM HAS BEEN STOLEN BY SOME IDIOTS . AND I HEARD PEOPLE FOR A MONT CALL MY CAR THAT IS NICE 320i !!! , BUT OMG MY CAR IS 330i TUNING SHIT , AND I PAY MONEY TO BUY NEW EMBLEM

How good is this dissolvent my boy? I ask cus am trying to get rid of a transformer emblem on this Acura Integra I bought. You think it will work?

nice!! I wish I saw this when I had my e90! good video man!

I debaged my 04 e46 with googone and the paint came off around it from the adhesive, what is the best way to repair that?

So this works with badges with glue but does it work with badges with adhesive or double sided tape?

Very helpful indeed. Thanks for the good tips!

If it wasnt for this video i wouldnt have known to use compound. Thank you!

Totally worked like a CHARM!!!! Thx Yo

Good, straight to the point video. Thank you

Some cars that were in a hard rear end collisions end up debadged... It makes the car look cheaper... but, that's just my opinion. Good vid.

Mine is 8 years old and in a very dark grey/black... I'm not going to get a colour difference or anything like that am I?

Best stuff to remove the glue

Goo Gone will remove the emblems and the glue all in one go. I just squirt alittle Goo Gone on the badges and wait 2 or 3 minutes and they just pop right off and then you can simply wipe away any glue left behind.

Can I use meguiars Quik Detailer instead of goo gone or desolve it?

All car models are glued? Mine is X3 2017

Bro u just need heat gun. And take them off. Its easy not to much heat just enough u will see. Works wonderful. Then use a glue rub. It will remove at the glue left behind

“It looks allot cleaner from the back” 🤣

I don’t understand why people like taking off the emblems to their cars. It’s what makes your car look nice! It’s like wearing high-end brand clothing and removing the brand logo. Just makes no sense

What adhesive do you use to add it back on?

Great prank but how do u get the numbers and letters back on because I will be arrested for vandalism if there is not a way

Hi Justin Wanne ask you I'm about to buy a BMW should I buy one with manual or automatic transmission ? By the way it's gonna be a BMW 535i 2012 Petrol.

thx bro ill have yo try that if i get my car i want

Thanks for the info, I've been debating on doing this, i just dont want people thinking i want to turn my lancer into an evo

Well this remove the ceramic coating I put on?

Ayyy a Michigan plate!

what is the stuff you're applying at 1:43 please?

here its very popular to get m badge or m-power onto each regular 3 series

Will this also work on my wife, I’m trying get her off my back

what kind of rubbing compound did you use?
