SO I have a 1999 Dak Sport witht the dakota "sport" decals on the doors and the dodge decal on the tailgate. I removed them with a hair dryer and Goo-BE-Gone ( great stuff ), but there is a little bit of wax build up left. My question is do you guys just wash wax and buff it out or is there a compound you guys use to make it dissapear for good.

any insite would be great, Thanks :mullet:

if it's just wax what I would do is wash the area with dawn dish detergent get a clay bar and use it. Then wash it again with car wash wipe dry and apply new wax :biggthump

Hey you guys that are removing your decals, what shape are the "Durango" decals in? I want to replace mine because the chrome is peeling. Thanks!

there is no way you can get them off with out messing them up. Even the chrome emblems tear or distort when you take them off

Actually if its a raised chrome emblem you can get it off with out distorting or messing it up.

Use some 6lb test fishing line, wrap each end around two small sticks (I use pencils) so you dont cut your hands, and put the slack between the emblem and the truck and use a sawing motion, it will cut thru the adhesive without harming the emblem. You can then use some type cleaner to remove the adhesive left behind.

Ask in the vendor forums, he will be able to get them for you. Or any other part as a matter of fact!

I tried dental floss but not fishing line

Removing Emblems on a 98

Alright, i've always wanted to take my emblems off my sport, on the doors and the tailgate, but my truck is a 98 i mean that's 7 years of sunlight, dirt...is it worth it or should i just wait until i repaint next summer?...also how hard is it to take these off, there all stickers, no chrome lettering..
