debadging right now, residue won't go away

[Ishan]

*points at title* yeah, i'm debadging atm.. and i have goo gone, but, it's not really getting everything.. was just wondering if anyone has come across a new way to get rid of all of the residue.

[mthegodfather]

I have always used the goo-gone with great results. Goo-gone has some stuff now in an aerisol can that seems to work alittle bit better than the original can. So maybe that would help some?

[Ishan]

heh, thats what i wanted to buy actually, the aerisol can, but they didn't have any at the store i went to, so I just bought the normal stuff

[VanishingImage]

just keep at it....maybe try some rubbing compound as well,the stuff you use b4 you wax the car.But just keep at it,try and make sure your out where the sun can help heat it up to,makes it nice and melty like.Some peoples just takes more time then others.

[Ishan]

well, i give up for today, i'll give it another go tomorrow when the sun is hitting the driveway

[DowmaceWH99]

I used carb-cleaner to take the residue off of mine, just make sure you wipe all of it off afterwards, and wax soon after, or you may be saying bye bye to your paint

wow i would not expect an 02 to have that many issues with the badges.I have shaved 3 or 4 grand ams now with no problems fishing line and elbow grease with goo gone.

Has anybody considered either bug&tar remover or even acetone? I remember over 20 years ago when my father went to his property in the country, they had decided to oil the dirt roads the one night and we had a nice surprise when we woke up! So when we got home, we were using acetone to remove the oil that was stuck to the car.

If you can get yourself some Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), then use that as it is stronger. It dissolves cyanoacrylate esters, aka Super Glue, like it was not even there. Acetone will do the same thing, but it is not as strong as MEK.

But like others suggest, wax the area IMMEDIATELY after application of the solvent.

I know.. i've debadged a 94 before.. no problems.. but this 02 is pissing me off.. lol

Hope they didn't put them on with the paint still wet. OHHHH the horrror

[Ishan]

hahahaha

[SonicTron]

i use GS27 it buffs out the marks nicely

[Xidion]

I used Rubbing Alch. Then i used bug and tar remover then washed then waxed.

We did it with Goo-Gone at Albany and it worked like a charm.

Goo Gone works wonders. If you don't have any available, a little gasoline on a rag works just as good. No matter what you use be sure to immediatly rinse the area well and follow up with some wax.
