Default 2009 RX Debadge

PRE-Debage


It was easy once I learned there were no holes behind the "Lexus" and "RX 350" badge! And after 4 years there is no issue with ghosting. There is some wax and dirt buildup but I'll clay bar the back this weekend and you'll never be able to tell!

New Plastic Spludger (Plastic Putty Knife- does't scratch paint), Adjustable Heat Gun on low setting & some microfiber rags with Goo-Gone. Removing the leftover adhesive takes 3x as long as it does to remove the emblems.

I have used dental floss with success, with the hair dryer. Then it is just goo-gone. Wax and a bit of polishing compound. I have not done my RX yet. The SC is debadged. Time to get the RX cleaned up as well. Will do it this weekend.
