One month still not coming off.

It's been about a month now since i debadged my car. The after marks are still not going away. At first i thought, oh what the hell its just been covered too long so it will eventually go away. The INFINITI part did go away very very cleanly for some reason. So it didn't, i use scratch remove, today i used a claybar kit(works awesome by the way for taking off DIRT), i waxed the area, i cleaned it. Heres the pics of the area indicated by arrows. It has come to my conclusion it is probably the layer of clear coat paint. I guess i'm going to have to drive around with that. What should I do to take it off. I'm definately not going to trust a 2 dollar of krylon spray paint. Can't be good.


This is the dealership sticker, not as noticeable.


This is the spot where the "G35x" used to be. clearly very visible.

it appears to be paint fade.....unfortunately, even farting on it will not get rid of it.

Talk to a detailer or body shop. They could possibly wet sand it out. Don't try it unless you know what you are doing.

Appears you ruined your paint with the glue remover.

I used Goo Gone. The adhesive was THICK on the g35x. I will go ask a body shop, i swear they better not charge me like in the hundreds for this.

omfg just get some claybar. if you didnt ruin your paint it will take it off. if you ruined your paint, go to a body shop and bend over.

I used Goo Gone. I used a lot of it too and it didn't do anything like that. My car is black too, so it would show up a lot easier on mine than yours, but you can't even tell i had any emblems there anymore.

What did you use to rub? Is definitely looks like whatever you used did the job. I see a nice neat circle that is brighter. Maybe you just cleaned the paint

I used a bottle of goo gone and a really really rough rag...lol now that i think about the rag. Need to throw that crap away. The adhesive was hard so me and my friend switch off rubbing that crap like no tmr, i try the blowdryer to make it softer, but i realize my blowdryer's turbo button was broken so i guess it did nothing for the adhesive.
