I debadged the G35 emblem, and found out that.....

[ibelonginprison]

... I'm probably going to put it back. F*cking faded paint.

I can see a slightly darker "G35" where the emblems were....

Wish there was magic pixie dust to make it go away, but Tinkerbell hasn't started selling her sneeze powder on the open market yet. F*cking Whore.

ya that sucks how bad is it, maybe a wet sand and buff on the trunk might make it un noticable.

I dont understand the concept of debadging cars its pointless you should of just leave it in the first place.

What's the point of having a car you like... all it does is get you from point A to point B.

You spending money on a decent car is pointless. You should just ride a f*cking bike.

Not terrible. But noticeable if you look directly at it.

You have to follow up with a polish to restore your faded paint to the same clarity as what was behind your emblem. This is pretty common and easily fixed with the proper tools and techniques. Depending on how bad your paint is will determine how aggressive of a polish and pad combination you'd need, but in general a good starting point is the Menzerna polishes and a quality buffer like the Porter Cable 7424.

If you'd like more specific suggestions, let me know.

I dont understand the concept of advertising for Infiniti, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, etc. They're not paying me to flaunt their logos.

Something to look into.

I've been meaning to really detail the piss out of the car anyway.

+1 for Detailed Image, I got my porter cable from them and they gave me a great deal.

Also that should remove the fade from your paint.

A clean, smooth rear end looks nice. It's no different than de-molding doors and side panals. The smoothness looks "clean".

[ShanesG]

it will blend in, give it a couple weeks, mine was the same and now you cant even tell

[Nikos35]

DOH! I just removed mine last night and haven't been out there to look but it looks like porter cable on order....

[redlude97]

A porter cable is not absolutely necessary, used scratch-x by hand and lots of pressure on the rear g35 emblem area before I got my PC and it removed the light shadowing from the emblem

+1 on scratch X


Someone backed into my cope on a parking lot and left nasty scratches and blue paint on my rear bumper.

I got the paint off and used scratch X on the scratches and after I was done area looked much more whiter then the rest of the bumper.

I had to clay the bumper later to get it a little whiter.
