Hello everyone, i just had my car debadged, but it left smears on the paint.

when taking off the glue from the letters i scrubbed pretty hard and used alcohol, now it looks messed up.

any tips on how to clear this up.

thanks for any help
do i have to take it to a body shop?

 

Wd40 or goof off. You could also use thinner.

 

wd40

 

i used goof off and rubbed zaino and it was good to go

 

+1 wd40

 

pics would help to better describe your damage

 

howd you debadge?

im wondering cause theres different techniques with better outcomes

 

use some rubbing compound followed by polish

 

Yeah dude, heat, dental floss, and goo gone-show us some pics

 

I debadged my car with a heat gun and peeled the letters off. Then we heated the sticky gummy stuff BUT it still left a residue.

I then took a porter cable with a soft pad, and some #80 DACP and it took it right off.

 

There are so many post refering to debadging on this site you couldn't get
them in your trunk!! Why not do a search and find out how to do something
before you jack your car up? That's one of the reasons we're here doing
what we do.........sharing information/knowledge! GooGone would have
removed the glue and not damaged the paint.......but no you did it your way.
