Frequently Asked Questions
Can you debadge my vehicle safely?
In many cases badges can be removed safely, but suitability depends on the vehicle, badge type, adhesive, paint condition and age. We inspect first and advise before carrying out the work.
Will there be marks left behind?
We remove the adhesive fully and refine the area. On well-kept paint the finish is clean, though paint can occasionally age differently under a badge, which we check first.
Can you debadge before a wrap or PPF?
Yes. Debadging is a popular step before wrapping, PPF or polishing for a smoother, cleaner result.
Can I have the badges put back?
Yes, rebadging is available on request if you decide you would like the badges refitted.
