Hmm I might try this on my VYII Executive...I wanna get the "Executive" and SeriesII badges off.
Would I be able to just get a piece of fishing wire and just a rag, without the polishing chemicals?

[swiftymcfeat]

Mine were so bad i just pealed them off and wiped it over with a bit of prepsolve. Good job on the guide though.

hey i wanna if i can put the vk calais side skirt onto a vk commo? And About the seats Can i put Calais seats into the Vk Commo? plz wb

[calais24/7]

wow wish i seen this thread before i took mine off
i have a vl so the front has two clips so i just used a chisel and popped it off, but the rear "holden" badge on tht boot, having being there 20 odd years wasnt so easy, i stupidly used the chisel again and the glue was that stuck it pulled of paint luckily it needed a respray anyway becuase it has the "crows feet" and is a little bit faded
but good wright up mate
cheers

Thanks for this mate it worked a treat.

[Oh_Your_Blind]

Mal1988 just did it to my vy. Use the wire and the black sticky, just peel it off and it just leaves a little glue residue, I just used turps to get rid of that and washed it with water, came up a treat.

Btw.. Turps is fine to use... right?

Would this method work for removing the black and silver boot trim down the bottom corners of a Lexcen boot I just put on my vs commodore? Or is there more too it with trim like that (i've lifted the trim a little and it seems to be the same adhesive).

[vn.v6]

my badges pretty much peeled of then just peeled of the black glue .
good tip

[elbow31]

works a treat!

Hey, I recently purchased a VS ute off a truckie who decided it would be funny to put heavy duty superglue Kenworth badges on the back. I really want to take them off but I am pretty sure its going to take my paint off lol. Would this method work you reckon?

Thinking bout taking to to a spray painter/panel beater and see what they see.

Cheers.

hey guys!!! I'm new to the world of commodores! I recently purchased a VX s-pack and debadged it. All went well until i tried to remove the Holden Badges and noticed the 2 holes behind the badges. There must be a method for filling these holes coz ive seen heaps of commos without the Holden Badges. I could hit it with a swipe of bog or some fibre glass but i thought id ask if there was a more simple method!
Thanks Fellas

you'll need to take it to a panel beater, get them to fill up the holes and spray over it. shouldn't be too expensive.

If it's superglue, and on a large obvious area like the tailgate, you'll probably need to respray the panel to get any sort of decent finish. This is why I hate ****ing superglue on cars.

[You_Jealous]

I'm not so sure if its glue or some kind of self adhesive sticker. I went and had a look today and its pretty hot so just thought I'd give it a crack at peeling it with my fingers. Started to come off within 5 seconds me starting and didn't look like it was leaving anything.

I'll give it a crack and see what its like lol

[VKCOMMO]

would wax and grease remover work to remove the glue?

[VXHBD6]

I guess you could give it a go, that and elbow grease lol.

Any sort of polish with a light abrasive in it will work well, maybe even a chemical polish. You could give this a try:



Apply with a couple of these:


...and remove with a couple of microfibre cloths.

Good setup for beginners anyway

[Maxxiz]

Hey guys,
Does the VS have the holes holding the boot holden badge in? or is it also just stuck on?

[surfy31]

will wax and grease remover safely remove the glue left over behind the badge?

[HamaTime™]

Great write up mate!!!! Helped me alot!

[phatsix]

will wax and grease remover safely remove the glue left over behind the badge?

yeah it will. even a few drops of detergent will remove it without affecting the paint
