so i debadged my G...and i took off the "INFINITI" on the back. i got it off now problem, but when the left over glue was on the rear i used rubbing alcohol to get it off...i got it off ok, but now there are small scratches where all the letters used to be, and it is pretty noticeable, what should i do to get rid of these scratches?! thanks!

 

first off whats the color of your car ? if its really bad you might have to get your trunk repainted.

 

There have been a million posts about debadging, doing a search will inform
you how to and what not to do. Chances are by not using the right product
you ended up scratching the surface of your deck. The letters should have
been removed with fishing line (strong) the glue removed by using GooGone
or WD40 with a soft cloth (which you didn't do) now the scratches can be
removed with either Meguiars Scratch X or Nu Finish Scratch Doctor using
an applicator pad. Ok, the scratches should be gone, now apply a heavy
dose of your favorite wax and the job is done.

 

awesome thanks!

 

car is blue slate. its not REALLY bad, they are not deep at all, i guess you can only notice them from certain angles, i think i over exaggerated in my OP. sorry.

 

+1 for ScratchX, use a foam pad. and wax afterwards.

 

on my way right now to get some!

 

but yeah, this topic seems to have been beaten to death try any polish or scratch X as others have suggested.

 

ill post pics tomorrow.

 

get over it

 

ey yeah i debadged my car a while ago. friend helpe me buff it out. car is clean. but if i look extremely close i can see the film residue left from the letters. its like the outline or whatever. i was told to put rubbing alcohol on it so take off the film, but it just made some discoloring in my deck. i applied rubbing alcohol on the G35 part and then it made some discoloring, but when i buffed it out it was clean. i couldnt see the film/outline of the G35 no more. i didnt applie that much rubbing alcohol on the I N F I N I T I part cuz i didnt want discoloring and having the trouble of buffing it out again, so was wondering what is a good product that will take off the film/outline of the letterings with having discoloring? i heard of scratch x and then clean and wax, but is there anything else?

 

Wd40

 

will wd40 cause paint discoloring?

 

Take your car and get it buffed.

 

i have gotten it buffed, but its still there. the part where i applied rubbing alcohol and then buffed it the film isnt there (or i cant see it). but i dont want to applie more rubbing alcohol and get some discoloring and have to go and get it buffed again.
