^ very interesting point of attack... as long as it gets the job done.

 

I got it all off, took it to the body shop and the guy took it all off with the eraser wheel. Then I went home and the "INFINITI" came right off like it was supposed to. Will post pics soon. thank you for all your tips/and tricks.

Oh yeah, the guy at the body shop said like everyone els, that the G35 was most likely put on with some other sort of adhesive. Nothing can ever go smoothly.

 

3M adhesive remover… I’ve used it many times re-badgeing and all kinds of other non-car projects – works great.

 

it took more than 20 min but my problem is the shadow that was left over after i took them off does anybody have any ideas its driving me crazy i joined this forum just for this **** im losing my mind the emblems are no longer there but i can see the shadow to g35 and infiniti WHAT can i do i sanded and machine buffed and nothing the shadow is still there im bout to buy new badges and just throw them back up

 

good thing you got em off. my tint guy took me out with his heat gun. i swear it didnt even take him 30 sec to heat it up. heheld the gun for like 10 sec took one of the plastics things he use to tint the windows and boom they came off.

then this other dude that work there took goo gone and took the glue off. those were some pretty cool guys.

 

This is what i use too. Awesome stuff!

 

my problem is not. The unbadging my problem is that there's a shadow where the letters used to be. every one says well u gotta get the glue off but there is no glue I had the car detailed the paint on the infiniti name and g35 looks newer everyone says it's the sun and that I'm without hope

 

I used some Maguiar's NX wax and it took the shadows completely away. $15 at your local Walmart.

 

Add another person the the debadge fail list. Just tried to debadge my G35x emblem and there is some serious ghosting. It seems obvious to me that the rear bumper has been resprayed and they just taped off the emblem and sprayed right over it. Why do people have to be so lazy? Guess I'll just have to put it back on which is disappointing because I really liked the look with it off.

I might call up the dealership and ask if they did the respray because the CARFAX showed no history of repairs. Just another example of why you can't trust those.

 

remember the guy that couldn't get his off and when he posted pix we concluded it was done with superglue?

LOL

 

take pics and post em in here to get a better idea of how to help you ..

 

I think I've already decided to just put the emblem back on. There is a hard line in the shape of the letters where you can tell a second coat of paint and clear was sprayed. There is really no way to fix it without sanding it down and repainting. I do have a call into my dealership to see if they were the ones that painted it. If so, maybe I can get them to redo it because whoever did it was really lazy and did a half a** job.

 

you can also just park the rear of your car facing the sun and over a short period of time.. that paint that was under the g35 will fade.

 

Carfax is BS just an FYI. It said my car was in an accident, it was just the front fender that got damaged. Then there was an "unknown" incident. Upon taking my bumper to get painted to a shop I come up to find out after inquiring about getting a full paint job that my hood, front bumper, both fenders, 2 front doors and rear bumper were repainted. Carfax and dealer seemed to leave that detail out.

 

Just got off the phone with my dealership and they said it is fairly common for them to respray a body panel if there is a scratch on it, but they had no record of painting mine. After looking at it closely it appears that everything was taped off except for the bumper so it was probably just a small accident that was paid for with cash and never reported to CARFAX. Overall it looks good except in a few spots when you look at it very closely. When you run your hand over it you can tell that the jack*** who painted it sprayed right over dust in a couple places. The only thing I'm really worried about is the clear coat peeling. If worst comes to worst, I guess I'll just have it repainted again. I'm assuming it could be done for a few hundred bucks and luckily I have an easy color to match instead of my last two vehicles which were both red.
