Default Issues with DEBADGING

I just got finished debadging my A6 2.7T and I bought the GooGone. I used the dental floss, and GooGone to get the plastic symbols off with ease. I then took off the HEAVEY adhesive that was remaining, but my issue is the OUTLINE of the A6 2.7T is still on it. Is it suspose to be like that, then come off on its on over time, or is there something I can do to get the OUTLINE out? Did anyone else have this issue?

Take some rubbing compound to it, that should do the trick!

You will want to wax that area after as well!

Turtle-Wax Polishing Compound should work with a little elbow grease. The wax is up to you, I use Zymol.

I wouldn't use Turtle Wax on my neice's Radio Flyer! I would recommend 3M Fine Cut Compound, Light or Dark swirl remover (depending on your cars color) and finish with a pure Caranuba. You'll be good to go!

I like 3M but there are other fine products as well, Meguires, P21S, etc. Go to www.autopia.org, it is a fantasic site for the serious detailer.

OOOO

3M is definately the way to go...

Wax; my personal choice is Liquid Glass!

Thanks guys! I ended up going to AutoZone before I got any of the replies back of what kind of compound to get. I got the Turtlewax, and with a bit of elbow grease the car looks beautiful. Thanks again guys!

Turtle Wax is a terrible automotive product! I wouldn't polish a beer can with it!
