I liked my lettering from the factory until I first saw a debadged G Coupe in person. Much prefer the cleaner debadged look now (but I still have a thing for Mt Fuji too)

I used a hair dryer to heat the letters first. It makes them come off a lot easier. Just heat one letter, remove w/ fishing line or dental floss, then re-heat the remaining tape left behind and peel as much of that off w/ you fingers & fingernails, just don't do any gouging. The remaining tape residue can be removed w/ bug&tar remover or goo-gone. My Infiniti & G37 letters took about a half hour to remove & clean up. I then just put down some spray wax and that cleaned up the very slight ghosting left from the letters. If your car has spent a fair amount of time in the sun you may have to clay-bar the area where the badges were since there may be slight fading leaving a darker image where the letters previously were.

You guys do know there's a thing called Adhesive remover (3M) sold in any auto store in a spray can right? Just asking since I'm seeing all types of methods to remove the glue, from WD40 to Nail polish. Why not use a product that was intended to do what you're trying to do? Just asking. BTW I debadged mine as well just left the MT Fuiji symbol on, much cleaner look and wax doesn't get caught between the letters anymore (there are none )

I took my infiniti lettering off but I left the Logo and G35S on it. I had a car place get rid of the residue with clay bar and orbitol buffer.

...because a lot of people tend to have things like goo gone and WD-40 already sitting around the house. I myself would stray from using nail polish remover on a car finish, it's pretty strong and it's acetone based. WD-40 is mostly mineral spirits with some petroleum products.

The Mt. Fuji is the Infiniti "symbol." The circle with the angle coming up through the bottom on the grille, the trunk, the steering wheel, etc.

My Fuji IS the coolest car logo IMO, nice looking and has a bit of a Zen Touch since it means more than just the first letter of a car brand or some animal.
