PAINT DAMAGE!!!!

I debadged and I couldn't get some of the glue off. So I put a little bit of a liquid cleaner on a rag and rubbed just a little bit. It looked alright if I looked straigtht at the area, but when I go to the side I see a fade mark. HELP!!! Did I really screw up. Please, your expert advice is needed.

Re: PAINT DAMAGE!!!!

Is it paint fade or "shadow" from the letters? If it's the shadow then your paint is fine but I don't know of a way to get rid of it, besides time. I have the same thing because I waited 7 months to remove mine.

Re: PAINT DAMAGE!!!!

try claybar. can either purchase online or local auto shop. i purchased mother's at a local autozone. make sure that an ample amount of lubricant is used. lubricant should come with the claybar or else use car soap and water in a spray bottle, or even quick detail spray.

Re: PAINT DAMAGE!!!!

try a 3 stage wax, the second stage should help to remove any haze that you have.
