I had the same issue, nothing I had including polishing compound and my orbital buffer would remove the shadows. I had a guy with a high speed buffer clean/buff my trunklid, for $20 it's perfect and no more shadows.

I've been told alot that the kind of paint thats on newer cars doesn't seem to fade... You will have scratches but they buff out!

 

my car needs a pro detail.. im not half bad with my DIY but nothing beats a pro job...

she's worth every penny

 

was it garage kept before you? mine's an 06 and i had no shadow at all!! DO IT and buff it out after.

 

Ive owned it for 2 years and its about 50/50 in the garage an out dont really know what the previous owners did with it but they were like 60 so probably in a garage I would hope

 

All paint fades to a certain point over time. The sun is harsh on everything, maybe newer paint doesnt fade as bad but its not gonna stay showroom quality for 7 years IMO

 

well as seen above ^^ i have done it myself it was easy and i had no shadow and mines a DP so i vote DO IT!!

 

don't debadge

instead put a nissan badge

 

You put all those heavy $$ for an Infiniti premium coupe and you're going to devalue it with Nissan badges? Done correctly you need to rebadge the front and the interior too, bad

debadge.

 

My trunk is fully debaged and i love it.
Plus I love when old folks come up to me and ask "what car is that"? lol
I tell them a Bugatti lol j/p

 

hahahah. gotta love that.

Gary, can you post a few pics of your car? I bet it looks super clean with your color.
Honestly, what i'm thinking about doing is debadging it and putting it on my gialla grill. I've always liked that look in the front, and besides it'll be an upgrade to my lame engine cover mt fuji badge that i bought for $4

And if you're worried about the shadows, my car was 5 years old when I first debadged everything else, and there were shadows - but after cleaning and letting a few weeks pass it disappeared. Just gotta let it adapt I guess.
I'll probably debadge it sometime today when the sun gets out and i'll post pics Thanks guys!

 

I just also realized that garys g is one of my favorites on this forum... to shout out to that.

 

Tint your tails (blackout if it's legal where you live) and paint Fuji black.

 

Debadge!
