    Hi guys, does anyone know how to properly debadge the ford festiva without scratching the car,

    Thanks

    fishing line will pull the badges up without scratching, then at the auto parts store get an eraser wheel. it looks like a big round eraser on a stick that you insert into a drill. wont hurt paint at all and gets rid of any glue left over then just use a mild cleaner to do a final once over. if the badges you are trying to get rid of are bolted in, the fishing line wont work... at all.

      more speficially im more on the lines of the stickers down it, kinda like badge style, if you get me.

      etc

        If they come off nicely I'd take them
        It's a good thing you don't read the stickies, you might of learned something.Poverty produces creativity

              Razor blade works really good. If you have never done it before, PRACTICE before you take a blade to your paint (you've been warned). Use soap and water to lubricate the surface.

                  As r34king said, ERASER WHEEL. I will never, ever use razors or heat guns or goo gone again. The eraser wheel is so easy to use and leaves the surface so nice you'll never go back. I picked one up for about $6 at Napa and it been in use ever since.

                    Wow, I went to get one at napa a few months ago and when the guy rang it up it was like $40 bucks! So I told him I'd pass

                      yeah, it pays to look around, Lordco quoted me about $50 but Napa here was cheap, any decent body shop supply place should have them at a decent price.
