New Badges + Pics + Help removing adhesive!

Okay, got the new pony and bars on. One side of the car has the "Supercharged" emblem and one doesn't. I like having the supercharged badge better, so I gotta pickup another.

Other side:

Oh, how do I get rid of the "GT" outline you see here? I tried using 3M adhesive remover but it didn't get that damn outline!

Lastly, I removed the GT from the rear to complete the non-GT badge look.

Side note: I miss my Saleens :-(

Rubbing alcohol. An OLD clay bar that youll never use again may work if you keep it well lubricated (my friend did that) but I'd stick to rubbing alcohol. Bug and Tar removers should work well too.

I'll try the bug & tar now.

AmBo · Feb 15, 2007

Both Clay and Bug&Tar failed. It feels like it's almost etched in the paint.

Goo Gone?

Get a polish that will remove oxidation. Mine had that when I took mine off.

Dude try the clay some more. I cant believe that wouldnt work??? Its your best bet for getting out stuff like that.

you shouldn't have put the badges on before you cleaned the area... any way bumper sticker remover + pressure washer at 5 minute intervals for about a half hour should do it.... but now it would shoot your new emblems off.

AmBo · Feb 15, 2007

I'm thinking polish and a buffer will do it too. I know I shouldn't have put the new badges on. Oh well. I'll have to work around it.

Thanks for the tips. Keep em coming if anyone has anymore!

get an ultra coat polish for sure, or even buff it if your experianced or bold. Just make ssure if u are using goo be gone or what ever you dont get it on your new badges

I ended up having to use some Menzerna polish and my Porter Cable to get rid of the marks from the badge on my trunklid. I tried everything, and that was the only thing that got rid of the marks for me. Yours doesn't look as bad as mine did, though.

THat's promising

Scratch X from meguiars and rub it in until the marks are gone or any other type of cleaner polish. Dont use a rubbing compound or a machine. Just use light polish by hand.

bullitt 5561 · Feb 15, 2007

scratch x, and if that dont get it off, take it to a pro.

AmBo · Feb 15, 2007

I just tried to rub in some Scratch X. No go. Whatever created that line, is on there for good.

I know its your car but the supercharged emblems look really bad there imo. Too many badges in one place. The one in the back looks ok but not great.

buff it

Hmm..can you feel it in the paint? I'm guessing since you tried scratch x, you have experience with the stuff. Remember you have to rub really hard with scratch x if you want it to do anything. Once your fingers hurt and if it doesn't do anything then I would give up on scratch x.

Yea man, I rubbed HARD till my fingers felt like they were gunna bend back ahahah.

In reference to 04Dark, I appreciate your input. But I really like it. It's different and looks too "plain" with just the pony and bars. And as for the trunk, I would prefer to have the stupid FORD symbol gone, but the stupid hole behind it ruins us from doing that.

I'm going to leave it like this (one side with the s/c badge) until the Saleens go back on. I might like it with just the pony and bars with the Saleens more. I f'ing hate these winter rims. Makes my car look like a big vagina
