So it seems that the simplest thing has given me a problem. I took off the A-C-U-R-A and the 3.2 CL. I got all the adhesive off but there was still a slight outline of the letters. I tried every thing including compound just to realize that the out line is actually etched into the paint way to deep for compound to make a difference. Anyone ever hear of this happening and if so suggestions? thanks

Ya i tried polish, compound, wax..nothing worked. The cars black so im thinkin of just spraying them mat black and putting them back on</p>

Yeah...that adhesive can really get on there...

Mine was like baked on!

I still have a faint outline of part of it...

Did you try paint cleaner?

Something with spirits in it?

Well...paint cleaner lifted a little off mine..from what I remember.

Try some Meguiars Paint Cleaner...pretty cheap and if it doesn't work out it's a good thing to keep on hand.

Try this also...

Post your issue in a new thread over in the Wash & Wax Forum.

A lot of knowledgeable folks over there and they can probably add some more suggestions.

They have helped me a lot in the past.

Have you tried wet sanding? If your paint isnt too damaged you can try to wet sand with some really fine sandpaper, kind of like getting a scratch out.

That is kind of risky IMO...

People that are not familiar with wet sanding can really do a lot of damage.

I had a similar problem on my old car 95 maxima I took it to a body shop and they siad they were going to do a high speed buff and it would melt the actual clear coat . it worked on my car and there was a pretty big lip or indent
