Has anyone personally used this product to de-badge a car? How was?

I used it to take off plastic chrome pieces from a motorcycle...pretty much the same thing as debadging. I first used fishing line to saw off the chrome pieces after gently heating up the chrome part. I used this to take off the sticky tape stuff. Worked nicely. Didn't harm the motorcycle plastic or the paint.

I've never had any problem with it when it comes in contact with moldings via overspray. When I get done washing my car I use this product on the painted surfaces. Then I dress my tires with a gel. I use Armor-All tire gel. I then use the gel on all of my plastic moldings(side-view mirrors, under-paint trim areas, window moldings etc.) and it works and looks great. Keeps the plastic looking new. Just use a good, strong cloth to apply it with. I'm sure any gel would do. Gels work better than sprays for plastic surfaces in my opinion.

Yes I have dried my vehicle with this. Works good. Dry under the hood, through the honeycomb, wheels and even the body with the wide attachment. Doesn't dry the windows streakless like my absorber.

I used it on my vehicle's plastic trim, black and grey and the faded colours got back almost like new and this was from using the same cloth after doing the vehicle headlamps. It worked for me!!

Karen, I have only ever used this product on vehicles. Mequiar's website has a customer care section. Who better than the manufacturer? Have a great day.

The Scotty Peller label & Sticker is a very good remover. You might have to use the spry Googone if the sticker has been on a long time

I actually used it to cover some damage on my door panels and dash. Worked great. I have used other colors, same company to add accents to small covers on the bumper, behind the chrome grille and even inside the Lexus L, and many inside components including the console. I work in nascar and it's not as hard and rigid as our wraps. More flexible when heated with just a hair dryer. Don't use torch or heat gun. I loved it. Really easy to work with at a low heat. Wish they would let me upload a pic.

I used it on large traffic area on my carpeted entryway. I lightly spray the area, then with a warm damp bath towel I wipe the area then flip the towel and go over again. Works good. It's also handy as a clothes stain remover like a "Tide Stick". Last week I got chocolate syrup on a white Polo shirt. Gave a quick shot on it, waited 30 seconds, then blotted with a warm damp washcloth. Not even a hint of the stain remained. Literally 3 times more effective than Spot-Shot.

Definitely NOT. The only command it can send to the control unit is to clear the codes. This tool is only a code reader and eraser. It works good, but it is limited to the specific vehicle models programmed into it. If the vehicle is not on the list, there is no way to make the tool work. No way to "try" a non-listed vehicle. It works good, but due to the limitations and me buying a more expensive scanner that does ABS for a wider variety of cars, I have sold this to another tech.

The new 3M tape that they use on stuff like this holds up really good. If you ever want to remove them it shouldn't take up the paint. I believe most people just use a heat gun to heat up the tape to remove it. They then use a cleaner to remove any residual glue. If you look through various forums online this how people remove stickers and emblams that are taped or glued on the outside of the car.

I have not used it for that purpose. There are many excellent automotive products made just for what you need. I would look in the automotive detailing dept of your favorite auto store.

well, I bought it and used it for my speedometer/gauges clear plexiglass in my trans am and it did an AMAZING job! I've since used it for many plastic pieces and, well I don't mean to contradict anyone, but it works, and works quite well. I would not however use it on any kind of plastic that is textured. this is pretty much for a gloss finish only (as many scratch removers are anyhow).

I would say yes. To clarify . . . bumper stickers are weird. If you can get most of the bumper sticker off first, then this remover should get the nasty adhesive residue off without a problem. I love everything that is 3M and this remover is awesome stuff. It takes crap off that I can't get off any other way. Again, my answer would be yes!

I have used it. Worked great, looks awesome. Not sure what your painting, but 1 can was just enough to pain a small car door. I used this because it had the hardener "activator" and the glass looks like it was sprayed out of a gun

Try dental floss. Worked on an emblem I had to remove from another vehicle. Adhesive was similar.

I used it on my car exterior and it was safe. It removed wax, tar, bugs, everything except the paint.

I do when I am just doing a quick wipe down do get the dust off the car with it and a microfiber towel. Don't spray a lot or it can leave a film on the glass if not wiped enough and if your microfiber towel is pretty damp from it already, just use the towel and it will work good also. Mequiars glass cleaner is one of the best glass cleaners on the market and is really easy to use and to me a must have also!
