Debadge Failure.
I debadged my trunk this weekend but failed. Got everything off all the sticky stuff but the letters appear to be imprinted in my trunk. I posted in the wash and wax section but no reply. I was hoping someone here could help me out. Thanks.

I did buff it. Almost to the point where i was in clear coat. I tried rubbing compound by hand and with a buffing wheel. What kind of pad did you buff yours with?

Welcome to the "pitting" club bro..
Unfortunately there is no way to "fix" pitting unless you repaint.
Touch up paint will help but it will only go so far.
Mine was way worse though. Check out the second page of my thread.

'99 2.3 CL
You would be surprised what how great the factory paint from Honda is.. it can take a beating and come back like new with a little finesse. My CL was completely trashed with scratches and weird paint discolorations when I bought it. Wetsanding and buffing removed about 95% of it. You can't help the deep stuff unless you fill with touch up paint, then do the wetsanding process, but that emblem pitting doesn't look like it made it to the base coat. Just looks like white residue that might have dug into the clear a lil bit.
