alright. i just kinda finished debadging my car today. followed the DIY on here exactly. but there's still some adhesive residue left. i had tried alcohol and goo gone. used a plastic scraper. even hand washed it with a rag. there is still some residue left. if you look at it, you can still tell clearly what it said. is there something, maybe better than goo gone, to get this last little bit off?

 

Ya i had that problem....ummm not sure if it will do the trick but try a clay bar

This could be a horrible idea, but maybe mineral spirits or lacquer thinner? Pretty sure that will take off the clear coat though......

 

what's a clay bar? i tried a white eraser like the DIY says and that didn't work worth a ****.

 

Go to autozone or something and ask for a Mother's Clay bar. It helps take off weather elements and such

 

cool. thanks.

 

trying using some rubbing compound. your going to need to keep working on it. going to need some elbow grease for this one

 

be very careful doing that

don't buff it for too long

 

ok. i'm rather new to the game. what is rubbing compound?

 

it's basically polishing compound that cuts harder

it's for removing bigger imperfections than polishing compound can. you use it first to remove the imperfection, then you polish with polishing compound to bring the clear shine back.


don't buff the rubbing compound for too long, you'll eat through the clear coat.

 

think i'll make that a last resort. gonna pick up the clay bar and give that a shot first.
