Thank you for showing how to do this. Just got my black emblems yesterday and headed to pickup the right supplies after watching this.

[@ozielreyes2777]

Where did you buy them I want some for my GMC Sierra single cab

[@cbar30]

Pro Tip: Warm the area with your heat gun right before install. Will stick forever!!

[@cadelangemore3114]

Thanks for posting; very helpful video. I've never seen an erasing wheel , so I might give that a try. I get really good results using "Rapid Remover" adhesive remover and a plastic putty knife to remove the remnants of decals and badges.

[@X3Andy]

I would recommend Rapid Remover for the leftover adhesive. Eats through it like nothing and makes it a lot easier on the paint.

[@resourceRally]

Just finished. This was a pain in the ass! Make sure to buy 3m adhesive remover

[@el_mas_mafioso]

The care and detail nice job

[@Timboslicemw2]

About to do this to my car tomorrow!

[@JosephNnbs]

I see the bolt on the eraser wheel and just smile because we all know why 😂💀

[@rayk9897]

That is one monstrous sized tailgate, its like washing a wall !!! Good work though, having a mount for the wheel would be ideal to prevent the skipping but nobody has invented that yet. Cant wait until the Magnetic F150 comes back for its maintenance wash. :)

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

Yeah they do jump around alot especially when the rubber is still cold. I thought about taking the heat gun to the wheel before I started to see if that would have helped.

[@ELITE2526]

Thanks for the video. What was it that you put on the sponge to polish? It was where you said "not necessary, but recommended"

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

Menzerna 2500 w/ a yellow rupes foam pad using the LHR75E buffer. Thank you so much for watching man!!

[@tonypicillo377]

Another great video Chad!

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

Thank you Tony! Hope all is well. Have a Merry Christmas! Keep that challenger warm.

[@gabrielorozco5647]

Good video. But one question what did you use for the prep solvent and what is IPA?

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

We will generally use the IGL Prep Solvent or Gyeon Prep. IPA is an isopropyl alcohol and water mixture to help remove any kinda of wax, grease etc. Thanks buddy!!

[@rja12]

@@PristineAutoDetailing So I can't find anything called "IGL Prep Solvent". Do you have the EXACT name of the IGL product you're talking about?

[@tomprochoren876]

IPA is Isopropyl Alcohol

[@rickmaher4283]

Great video. Thank you

[@mrcromesome7976]

Hey just did this how long do you recommend before a wash on your vehicle

[@chuckandrews6889]

What tape did you use or recommend

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

I try different tapes pretty often but generally stick to the yellow 3m Automotive masking tape. Its all overpriced. Want something that stays attached but doesn't leave a bunch of sticky residue left behind when ya go to remove. amzn.to/2TbNblD

[@jmbaker3]

Can you use 3M Adhesive remover on the left over adhesive?

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

I would imagine that would work well. I have never used it.

[@andrewkeup9209]

Big and tar remover is a faster and safer adhesive remover.

[@techexamined]

What year GMC was this? Awesome work BTW.. I would love to do all black on mine too

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

2016 GMC 1500

[@rnaugle9]

Great video! Very useful. I have a 2018 Sierra Elevation edition that I'm want to debadge. What is the name of the music u used in the vid?

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

Thanks Ronnie!! I am a member of Epidemic Sound and the song is called Limitless by AGST

[@heavyman2390]

Congrats AJ

[@natureandrandomstuff]

I want to replace the chrome one for black. What type of adhesive would I use?

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

I would try a thin 3m Double Sided Adhesive.

[@dennydeckerful]

I just put black vinyl decals over mine. Looks good and about $8. Will it hold up, time will tell.

[@ThatOneKidd951]

Did it hold up?

[@dennydeckerful]

@@ThatOneKidd951 Yes it did, put one on front grill and one on stirring wheel.

[@nathannudd2146]

Good video

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

Thanks buddy!

[@thearchitecturalgamer6652]

Thats actually really useful thanks for another great vid👌🏻

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

Thank you!!

[@Tracker7266]

What pound test fishing line?

[@Ashkorya]

Really perfect job 👌

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

Ashkorya thank you!!👍🏻

[@1TTHIEL]

What temp is the heat gun set at?

[@russellbabb3145]

Has anyone ever experienced letters coming loose or falling off? I just got a 2021 elevation and the M on the front badge is loose. Had watched a video of a gentleman’s duramax elevation having the same problem.

[@JWP1990]

Great video

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

Thank you so much!

[@christianparsons7495]

will this grille badge fit 2014 sierra?

[@brandonhealy1519]

great video #pristine

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

Brandon Healy thanks buddy!

[@nickbirkenshaw]

Link to those taillights?

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

Sorry, I am not sure where the client purchased his lights.

[@bdoolzzzz]

Is that just pain thinner at 2:00?

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

Yeah

[@bdoolzzzz]

@@PristineAutoDetailing ohh okay, I'm not to smart with vehicles, but that doesn't damage the trucks paint at all?

[@PristineAutoDetailing]

Have to be careful and not rub the paint for very long or over saturate. If you are looking for something safer, something like Citrol works great too! amzn.to/2Zn8zwj

[@stevenhudson7525]

As always great content!!! #pristine
