debadging correctly? heat & floss method still good?
on previous cars i've debadged by using a heat gun/ hair dryer on the badge on the car then when it was warm enough i used floss to pull back and forth behind the badge until it came off. i never had paint damage and only alittle sticky residue left to remove. is this still a good way to debadge or is there a better way?

the one thing that went wrong with my debage was when i reached the "G 35" clear coat came off with it.. or it was already damaged.

No really I was wondering because my G is IP and I was worried about the clear coat. I wanna clay bar it and find some polish that really makes it pop. Want a protectant too.

today i picked up a good clay bar from a guy i used to do overspray removal with. it'll be next week before i can get out and clay the car really well. i really want the pearl to stand out.
the whole purpose for this thread is because i ordered a 350GT badge from another user to replace the G35 emblem. not quite sure if i want to debadge the rest of the car or not. i'll check out some pics and see what i want to do. i'm thinking of taking off the infiniti emblem and "INFINITI" and putting on a Nissan badge. for the front i wanna just remove the badge and fill in the grille and plastidip or paint it black. also wanna do the wheels in plastidip but clear coat them to make them shine. if i change the rear badge to Nissan i'd want to change the center caps to nissan and leave the nissan symbol chrome. anyone know where i can get some nissan centercaps that fit the infiniti wheels?

Goo Gone is always best, wn't harm your paint!
I started a debage on my 2005 IP sedan, began with rear emblem and found that there are 2 ****** holes in the trunk lid WTF!!!!!
I've debaged plenty of other nissans, has there been holes under the emblems before!
What do you guys do about this??

I used it on my trunk when I took the Infiniti letters off and it worked just fine... When I used it on the G35, it ate up the bumper...

today i got out and washed and clayed the car. it started getting dark and cold so i moved into the garage to finish claying. actually i didn't finish but, i figured since i had do the majority i'd finish what i had started on the car. the front bumper is pretty much the only thing i didn't get to clay. i wanted to wash the car again after claying but, couldn't so i wiped it down really well and used some meguiars cleaner wax on it. i hope it's sunny tomorrow. i can't wait to see the results. looks great under the garage lights tho.
