ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Debadging

Debadging is when you take the signs off of your car. The signs usually say what brand the car is, like Ford or Toyota. People debadge their cars for different reasons. Some people don’t like the signs because they think they make the car look too busy. Other people just like the clean look of a debadged car. Debadging isn’t too hard to do, but you should ask an adult to help you. You will need a special tool called a heat gun to warm up the signs so they peel off easily. If you don’t do it carefully, you could scratch or damage your car, so it’s always better to ask for help. Once you take the signs off, you’ll see where the letters used to be on the car. You might want to clean it up with some soap and water. Some people even buff the area to make it look shiny. So, debadging is like taking the name tag off your shirt so your shirt looks more plain and simple.
