if u have LR G DONT DO IT !!!!!. i did just the G35 and the shadow is there and won't come off no matter what. my only option is to get it repainted. exposure to the sun changed the whole color of the car except for the paint underneath the Debadge. so u cant buff it out no matter what.

 

De-badge and wax.

 

This is what I did to debadge my trunk.

I did a full wash and got everything clean. Then I took some dental floss and used that to "cut" away the adhesive behind the lettering. I did this for everything, letters and the Mt. Fuji.

Afterwards, you're gonna have some of the thick adhesive left over. So I took some Goo Gone and applied it to the left over adhesive. I let it sit for like 10 minutes and proceeded to carefully wipe it off so I wouldn't scratch my paint. Whatever goo that was still left, I repeated the same process again until it was all gone.

Then a friend of mine buffed my trunk and got the remaining silhouettes out.

Happy debadging.

thank you!! you always help haha i will take a couple pics tom before and after!! hope i dont need to buff it but im sure i will

 

^^ I try to help. Its my way of paying it forward since I've bugged a few people on this forum with some questions that I always had. I may add that a heatgun will also help as well.

 

I debadged everything but the Mt Fuji when I bought my G new, just recently I decided to get rid of that too. With 85 degree weather, fishing line and GooGone it took 45 minutes to remove everything but the shadow. I used everything in the cabinet including compound which I've never recommended along with my orbital buffer. It just wasn't perfect enough so I went to our local carwash and asked them to hit it with a high speed buffer. Within a very few minutes it was flawless....success! Just as he was finishing a guy walks up and compliments me on my coupe asking, "Is that a Lexus?" That's the reason I left the Mt Fuji on all this time.... Love the totally clean look much better.
