De-Badging Help?
Hey Guys,
I started doing little fixes' to my GS300 today and wanted to de-badge, i have bought something called "goopoff" or something and it has melted away the silicon glue from underneath where the badge sat, but i have a hard outline of where the badge sat, i think it is a hard layer of glue that just wont budge. any ideas / suggestions how i can get rid of this? Thankyou.

If it's hard glue that goopoff won't get off do you think a claybar will really work? I thought claybar was just for refinishing touches and just to pick up small sediments left behind from just normal washing. Basically to restore the paint to it's original or near original state. If it's a hard glue I would just try to saturate it with some liquid that won't harm the paint and try to carefully peel it off. Of course I may be wrong. Just a suggestion gl

i will try heating it up tomorrow and peel it off, if not i will try leaving it as ugly as it is in the sun for a few days and trying again so it may wear off.. Do you think letting it soak in saltwater would help?

If you are positive it is left over glue, then heating it up will work. In my experience, it is usually paint fade. In either case, I always use Plastic-X or any mild Scratch Remover around the area. Even Orange Hand Cleaner works, but just don't over do it.

chances are it's the fresh paint under the badge and glue that hasn't been faded by the sun yet. You can try anything you like, only time will get rid of the outline. Or, you could try polishing the area to even off the clear, but I think you'll still have a shadow.
