De Badging - Removing the Megane Boot Badge

Postby robsmith1 » Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:17 pm

Here's a step by step guide to tidying up her ass and safely removing the boot badge for a cleaner, crisper arse end :-)



Here's the standard boot badge looking tired & dirty!Image
Image

Apply some gentle heat with a hairdryer for 15-20 seconds
Image

Dental floss or some fishing line will do the trick now! Slide it behind the letters and see saw it down until they pop off!
Image

Image
Image

Get to work with some hot water and some turtle wax! The adhesive comes off in seconds!
Image

Give it a good polish with a light cutting polish, i chose Auto Glym Super Resin Polish, worked a treat!
Image

Finally an all over wash and a polish with a regular turtle wax to protect her clean new butt! Job done!
Image

HOPE YOU LIKE THE END RESULT GUYS & GIRLS, I'M PLEASED WITH IT ANYWAY!

Nice guide, I've just done mine, I poured boiling water over it tho, find that heats the car and then more of the sticky stuff comes off with the letters..
Still not polished mine, I just have an outline of MEGANE!lol

Welcome to the club! It's my personal mission to ensure there's not a Megane with a sad looking rear end left in the UK! It you see one, get your floss and polish out and do it a favour! :D
