Anybody know how/what products to use to debadge 1995 850 wagon?
I heard heat gun and fishing line/floss?

 

That'll work also a plastic scraper or body filler spreader.
Heat is key.

make sure u use a good paint safe solvent for removing the left over glue and stuff...

 

What's the point in debadging an old boxy Volvo wagon??? You'd have to be from Mars to not know what it is...

 

rspi: while that's a valid point, its also an equally good argument for debadging it. If everyone already knows what it is, why do you need badges on it proclaiming it? I took mine off because badges (to me) clutter up a car. they also are a pain in the *** to wax around.

 

That's the best point I have ever seen, not having to clean around them.

I usually remove any sales dealership badges/stickers as soon as I get the car. They last less than 48 hours. I could see it being worth while if you have a T5 that has been upgraded to stage 1 or 2. Then people may think it's a N/A version and get their doors blown off.

I normally use a little heat then polish the paint under it. Heck, I just stopped by the auto parts store to check on molding tape to move mine.

 

thanks for your help,
im just looking to make it look more clean

 

Debadging it really cleans up the back end of the car. And most badges are fading and the silver is wearing off. I used fishing line and then an organic acetone and it cleaned it up pretty well. I didn't have a heat source so it was a major PITA. However, after a couple good polishes and waxes, I can still see the outline of the emblems.

 

I am going to do this as well.... The look is clean and I think that it will help my wagon out greatly....

 

back end of mine: Yeah, I know I embellished a bit with the "R" badge, but oh well....



And yes, I'm well aware that it needed a bath in this pic - i washed it right after i took this pic.

 

And while you're at it,remove the strip(under the back window aswell)

are you talking about the rubber strip just under the window

 

I could have sworn your car was a sedan and was white... You need to put a pic for your avatar

 

Nope, no white here!

Oh, and my tint is 100% perfectly legal. yep.

 

Yes,as you can see in the pic that's the missing part,lol

will look into it but I dont like to remove weather stripping it is usually there for a reason

 

Well let me reasure you,only reason for the strip being there is to gather muck and the the corrosion sets in(not a seal of some sort,water)

Just be really careful. When I pulled the 850 badge off the back it took my clear coat with it. I had to repaint the gate.

 

Thinking 'bout sticking my 'TURBO DIESEL' badge to the back of my V70 for snits and giggles.
