I want to give my 5 series a clean look from the back. How do I take the 530i numbers off the back with out leaving marks.

thx

I like using Dental Floss and Goo-Gone.

Do you use a blow dryer at the same time

only if it does not come off easily but be carefull. And when it is off any good alcohol will do the job, clean it and let it then dry, then you have no spots.

I did. Softens the adhesive somewhat.

my friend said when he took his off.....he just wet the badge with a wet towel pressed it up against the badging than used fishing line to take the badging off...good idea or bad???

1. Hair dryer. Aim about 8-10 inches away and only for about 10 seconds tops.

2. Dental Floss...drag it slowly across the back. If you get a tough area, pull the hair dryer back out and get that area.

3. Goo Gone.

4. Wax.

Enjoy.

De-badging mine tomorrow. Pics will follow. Thanks for the info!!

I used a hair dryer for about 45 seconds per number ... fishing line to cut behind ... lots of goo-gone ... and then a bit of hand polishing to clear away the fade marks and minor scrub marks from rubbing off the remaining glue. Finished off with a couple of coats of Zaino Z5 Pro ... good as new.

Hello,

for how long did you have your badge on your car?

I am thinking also to remove the badge but I`m afraid that at the end I will have some marks on the paint because of the colour degradation from the sun.

I have space grey and the car is 11 months old.
