[QUOTE="12savefuel, post: 1064425734, member: 69762"] My Cefiro and 20G emblem was in the wrong position as the previous owner repainted the car and the painter didn't stick it back the right way. Also the adhesive also was coming off as they used poor quality double side foam tape. So since the emblem was coming off might as well do it properly once and for all. Bought 3M Heavy Duty tape (the grey stuff with red plastic film) for rm17.50 from tesco. It was a pain to cut the tape to the correct shape but at the end I manage to do it. Wasn't perfect but good enough. 1. To remove the old emblem I just used dental floss, slot it behind the emblem aand the tape nd start cutting the tape with the dental floss. 2. Remove adhesive tape using lighter fluid. I used a plastic scraper to help remove all the adhesive. The blue plastic tool you actually see there is a plastic automotive clip removal tool made by JTC and come in 5 different shapes and sizes. But have to be careful not to scrap too hard and inflict deep marring on the clear coat. 3. With all the adhesive removed, its time to clean the paint and do correction. I used an RB with LC white pad and Osren Crystal Cut 3.0. Took about 3 passes to finish it. Didn't bother to finish with a black pad as the clear is quite hard and couldn't really see any holograms or swirls left by the correction. 4. Clean the surface with IPA ready for sticking the emblem. 5. Measure up, get your lines straight and stick the emblem and you're done. http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h444/jonlsl/Relocate%20Emblem/PA250306Small_zps4810fa7b.jpg http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h444/jonlsl/Relocate%20Emblem/PA250302Small_zps310dce5b.jpg Removing adhesive http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h444/jonlsl/Relocate%20Emblem/PA250307Small_zpsf8023c3e.jpg Adhesive removed http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h444/jonlsl/Relocate%20Emblem/PA250308Small_zps92e7e30f.jpg http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h444/jonlsl/Relocate%20Emblem/PA250304Small_zps385f5c7c.jpg[COLOR="Silver"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR]http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h444/jonlsl/Relocate%20Emblem/PA250309Small_zps82970ad2.jpg Correction finished http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h444/jonlsl/Relocate%20Emblem/PA250310Small_zpsb332dab3.jpg Relocation complete [/QUOTE]
