Removing the EMBLEMS
 

i have an S80, white in color. i wanted to remove the S80 badge and the T6 badge but leave the VOLVO on the center, how would i do that without removing my paint, or having to touch up the area. i want to remove the cleanest way possible so that it does not leave any marks on the paint. any knowledge about this will help me. thanks

wonderful question! i would like to know as well.

I am not sure on volvos but on most cars you can use fishing line to pop them off and then use some Oops or Goof Off to get the adhesive off... then it will be some times till the paint there fades consitently but i am interested in this too.

RE: Removing the EMBLEMS
 

Take a blower dryer on low heat and or high heat for a little bit of time to melt the adhesieve backing. Then take some fishing line and run it behind the emblem. Once it is removed use some Goo Gone to take the excess adhesieve that is left behind. Wash it, and wax the area then.

thanks s70!

Most of the time it isn't even that hard. Just grab and pull off. Rub some with your finger to rub the Adheasive off then clean with cleaner and done.

Some can be Hard and you will have to work at it some.

Are all Volvo Emblems the simple "stick on" type? I have "debadged" vehicles in the past simply by using dental floss and Goo Gone, but I know that some vehicles also have a hole or holes drilled where some of the emblems sit. Not sure if that is the case for Volvo or not.

RE: Removing the EMBLEMS
 

Yes all Volvo emblems to my knowledge are simple stick ons.

All except the Volvo emblem that is on the sides of the cars like on the 850's without sidemarkers. There is a hole behind them, but you can remove the emblem the same way. Then put sidemarkers in the spot.

Here is a VIDEO of a walkthrough on how to do this. Post pics when you're done!!

RE: Removing the EMBLEMS
 

i took the emblems off and am now painting the S70 emblem black and putting it on my grille.

RE: Removing the EMBLEMS
 

I've been through the same problem but I entrusted the matter to my auto body mechanic. After which, you can mount new spoiler, lights, ground effects kit and other accessories to match its refreshed looks.

I am gonna take mine off this afternoon, i am just trying to decide which ones to take off and which ones to leave...

RE: Removing the EMBLEMS

RE: Removing the EMBLEMS
 

shweet, post the pics. I'm deciding whether or not I will do the same and would love to see how your's turned out!!

RE: Removing the EMBLEMS
 

looked good, totally forgot to take pics, will today or tomorrow

RE: Removing the EMBLEMS
 

Those ways are all to long an tedious. What you want to do if get some fishing line and get it inbetween there and it will come off like butter if you run it back & forth. Then run Goo-gone down it and let it stand for a while then it will come off. mine worked out perfectly.

Great thread... I was going to debadge my S80 this afternoon but the front grill emblem is actually recessed, so there would be a diagonal grove if I removed, and I'm not sure that would look very "clean". Guess I need to find someone that makes a replacement billet grill first. :(

RE: Removing the EMBLEMS
 

If you remove the slash and paint the grill black it hides most of it.

Did it to both of my cars.

RE: Removing the EMBLEMS
 

I might do that... have to paint my center caps black anyways.
