Well I did this, kinda wrong I used my nail to take off everything after using the floss poor me lol. any how there are scratch marks all around and a space were it was before.

I have this NU FINISH SCRATCH DOCTOR, which I don't know will work or not but ill try it. If it does not work ill go to my local auto store and get, Clay bar kit, ScratchX, and NXT. Hope that can fix my problem :O until I get my car polished with a machine when the rainy months pass.

 

^^^ Do not use NU FINISH!!! It is pure garbage, equivalent of taking some non uniformed sandpaper and rubbing it across your car. Go get scratchX or a claybar and you will be fine (or even a cleaner wax like the ones that comes in the clay bar kits).

 

Wrong order. A polish is abbrasive, it will strip the wax. You use goo gone, polish the area, then wax. Wax is for sealing the paint, polish is for correcting.

 

lol, fuu I just finished using it. It helped a bit though. I still faintly see I N F I N I T I though, but not as much as before I got to try to actually see it but I need to wait for sun.

While doing this I saw how dirty my car really is. I really want to wash it but its been raining everyday. So Ill hold off. But I am going to buy ScratchX, claybar, and NXT to help rid the ghosting once and for all I hope. I have virtually no towels to use for my car, I only have 2 like 5inch applicators and I had to use papertowl lol. I also am going to buy all that plus some car wash stuff, and proper car cleaning towels so I can properly clean my trunk so I can clay it, and use scratchX.

Use ScratchX before or after clay? I think I might skip on the wax since it might look weird with the rest of my car not being washed and waxed.

But I still need a total car paint correction, the dealer left tons of swirl marks!

 

If after NuFunish it is still there, you might need to power polish it. You could correct it using NuFinish, but please don't, haha. Go get some ScratchX, and try again (use the applicator pad for waxing, and apply uniform pressure, go up and down, not in circles). Monitor your work, hopefully you should get it off. Otherwise, you will need a powerpolish.

Claybar only helps removing contaminants on the clearcoat, if you have fading, the clearcoat is damaged and a claybar won't help in this case. Polish is the only way to go.

I would still wax it, that area will have no protection and more vulnerable to further damage. It might look wierd, but your car is dirty anyways, haha.

If you are getting your car paint polished professionally soon, don't worry about the fading. The detailer should take care of it for you.

 

well for me when i debadged my G buddy used goo gone or whatever it is and all the crap came right off.. for the discolored i have no idea. lol

 

i used goo gone too worked perfectly!

 

I used scratch x also and then spray waxed the area.. and came out great..

 

Heat the emblems up with a hair dryer then use dental floss don't apply alot of pressure just slowly move it up till the badge comes off then wax the crap outta it...good luk

 

clay bar and then polish and wax and itll be good as new.

 

yea i used goo-gone too

 

good to know since im debadging my car sometime this week

 

goo gone or wd40... then wash and wax the area

 

Goo Gone wouldn't get it all off for me. ScratchX worked great though. Looked like new after.

 

i had halos around mine, after goo gone...used meguiar's ultimate rubbing compound. can't ever tell it was there.
