OK...I debadged about 4 months ago....I have tried EVERYTHING to get the crap off of my paint that was left over. (goo-off, WD-40, all different kinds of alcohols, etc.) I am begining to think that this is not sticky goop, but perhaps fine cuts in the paint...should I try some polishing compound to clear it up?

Let me know what you think

 

Looks like your whole trunk could use a polish. Clay it, polish it, wax it, then see how it looks.

 

cool.....thanks....actually just got a clay system, so that'll be a nice start

 

shit dude how did u get the badges off? if u straight up pulled them off or got them jacked then theres a chance that u may have had some of the clear coat pulled off with it. if u did everythin rite and heated the glue to get the badges off them yea jus try some clay good luk man

 

Try some laquer thinner...used sparingly. When it's off, wash immediately with Dawn.

I just had to de-decal my G35...worked great, no harm done.

 

i had this exact same problem, just not as much, even had superglue. What I use was Eagle One's Never Dull. It took a while, but it got it off completely. I have done clay, but it took to long for me and seem like it did not work. But I would suggest you clay your trunk and if you have time clay your whole car, you will love it afterwards. Apply wax when done

 

trunk could use a polish


no way i'd use Never Dull

 

the whole damn car could use a polish.....

and no, I would not have used never dull...

OH, ans CLPOWER, I was curious about equipment....I know the PC is the best spinner around, but could I get away with useing one of those orbital buffers this time for my polishing/cleaning/waxing needs?

 

Clay it, polish then wax.

 

you know there is a metra kit available now and you could swap out that mismatching dash kit for something that looks OEM...

 

yeah, that pic is old....actually mounted the metra last week..thanks


Anyone have any suggestions as to the buffer question?

 

why would you not use never dull? it was no problem for me
