Default Debadge Tutorial

Alright I've seen how to debadge in a few spots so I figured I would write up a simplified debadge technique. I only used about 1/16th a bottle of goo gone too


Tools: Library Card (or similar), Fishing Line (or Floss), Goo Gone
Approximate Time: An hour including clean up.

Step 1: Soak both sides of the tank badges with goo gone, let sit for a minute or two. Then repeat Two more times.
Step 2: Take fishing line (or dental floss if you dont have any fishing line handy) slip it inbetween the tank emblems.
Step 3: In a sawing motion move from one end to the other. When you reach the other side you can them remove the badge
Step 4: Soak the doublesided tape that is on the badge with goo gone.
Step 5: Peel up a corner and pull out the handy library card (or something similar) While holding the corner up use the edge of the card to saw the sticky part of the tape still on the tank. The angle you are holding the card should be just a little below 90*
Step 6: Now that most of the tape has been removed apply some more goo gone and scrub with a rag. This will cause the rest of the tape to come off
Step 7: Do Steps 1-6 on the other side
Step 8: Clean the tank
Step 9: Wash and Wax to remove any of the very light scractes that may be there and to bring out the beautiful shine.
