How to Remove Emblems (Debadge) EASILY

[@justinbuice]

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

[@unknowntalent1157]

Justin Buice mine is badgeless, much better looking👍🏼🤘🏼

[@justinbuice]

@Farina Marcina watch my channel, I have over 250 videos of this car. You will never see an M badge on the trunk..

[@alainschreuder]

Justin Buice fake M3 badge is lame, i agree. But some BMW’s have M badges on the side of the car, original from factory. Nothing wrong with that right?

[@justinbuice]

@@alainschreuder If it's from the factory I dont see anything wrong with it. I mean people buying $5 M3 badges from eBay to try to stunt on everyone lol

[@user-xo3cx5ph9r]

Def nice cleaner look. Dont worry about the haters man, they have 10 year old M series and one pay check away or engine failure away from food stamps and the metro line.

[@scorpionwins6378]

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.

[@oscarb9755]

Hell yeaa! Push it J!

[@angadnagi4474]

Bro tint the tail lights too

[@jaredfryer6623]

Same here but only 15% tint lol

[@aaronfunk319]

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!)

[@beto21fly]

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

[@justinbuice]

+Luis Brito lmao 😂

[@madtrooper3777]

Previous owner put an S-Type badge on my Altima, dafuq bro

I once saw a VTec badge on a lexus. Vapers be wildin.

[@jedrzej_jurek]

same here on brz

[@wince_moeron]

Hahahahahahahaha....I don't even vape...you forgot to add "bruh"

[@st8of1der]

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.

[@jonathanpape3704]

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

[@rollincoal3963]

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

[@justinbuice]

Thanks!

[@Galincognito]

He’s cute though so I wouldn’t mind any chatter😉

[@SwagDoesGT]

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

[@thumpertorque_]

Exactly lol It's a 330 so he should be proud to have it, it's not like a 316i or even 325i. It's not like removing it will make people think it's an M3 or something.

[@justinbuice]

I just think it looks more clean that way. I'm not really sure how impressive a 330 badge is anyway when you can pick one up used for under $15k now. Maybe a 335i badge I would have kept it on lol

[@TheDarrionChannel]

I got a 335i that shit amazing

[@paulmazur9729]

That's exactly what I want people to think when they see my 335 :p. That is until a person who knows BMW's notices the double exhaust

[@bilalganpot1382]

SwagDoesGT they won't because they will see the exhaust pipes

[@hpn1427]

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

[@sp1tf1r321]

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

[@josephnasr3385]

sp1tf1r321 ikr??? Especially if it's all black

[@onpoint357]

And it keeps the haters guessing 😅😅😅

[@N54-i7c]

Same with my 335i lol, and it keeps the power unsuspecting to the non car people:D

[@Justin-op8gg]

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

[@ActualTrent]

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

[@grizzle273463]

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.

[@justinbuice]

+Gary Miller Thank you! It's taken a lot of practice.

[@vtecboi18]

dude what part of Mi are u from?

[@videomaniac108]

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.

[@AbigailMilamProductions]

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.

[@jacobirvine704]

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!

[@mrmalavey1098]

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 😀

[@Scotford_Maconochie]

Try gasoline. It also works to dissolve adhesive

[@xTRVLNMANx]

Its the little things that count.

[@SOLOCVLI92]

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

[@jds6206]

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...

[@jamesshort5812]

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. 😊

[@josephrudzki5488]

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.

[@DavePianist]

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?

[@MetalDetailer]

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.

[@jmarcano727]

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

[@davidgarcia3797]

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

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 :)

[@thumpertorque_]

Did you get the car?

[@Cannon361]

Yeah! I've been driving it for two months now, 6000km (3800 miles) and zero problems. I absolutely love it, would recommend for anyone that wants to enjoy driving to its fullest whilst having a ridiculously low fuel consumption. I've been getting about 6l/100km in TOWN (40 mpg). And I don't spare the gas pedal.

[@thumpertorque_]

Mikko Juntunen Cool! I'll be getting a 330ci sometime in the next few months.

[@Cannon361]

Sounds great! Mine's a coupe as well. I like it way better than the sedan model.

[@secredeath]

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?

[@inozbik]

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.

[@justinbuice]

I'll try it. I wonder if it's legal though since the reverse lights are supposed to be white

[@inozbik]

+Justin Buice It's red in lift versions so I don't think that it will be a problem and also light colour is the same like without film.

[@MK_RS5]

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 😂

[@justinbuice]

Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with driving a diesel BMW? They extremely rare here in the US. Well, diesel cars in general are almost non existent here lol

[@RahatKhan-si5kz]

Justin Buice The diesel variants are actually better once remapped etc. 320d better than the petrol all the way up to 3L, maybe 3.5petrol will be faster due to the weight of engine. But that being said that’s why UK is infested with the Diesel engines rather than the petrol because it’s faster and more economical. Only reason you opt into the petrol version here is because you don’t like the sound of the Diesel engine. But respectfully the Diesel engines will outshine the petrol for the average size engine

[@Scotford_Maconochie]

@@justinbuice there's many diesel X5 in Canada.

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.

What rubbing compound did you use? Thanks

[@wgaines64]

I believe he meant "polishing" compound. "Rubbing" compound is quite abrasive and "polishing" compound is a finer finishing compound. Or?
