I just debadged my car yesterday with a heat gun but I can't quite get all of the sticky residue off the back trunk. Its not noticable at all but its still annoying any suggestions???

 

Goo Gone and a very soft cloth.

Will work, 100% guaranteed. That's what I used.

 

where can I get that autozone??

 

Yes autozone has it.Also if you have any lacquer thinner around that will work to

 

ok thanks

 

just remember it could take alot of time, so dont get frustrated and try to hurry it...thats how you screw up your paint!

 

Sorry to dig up an oldish thread. Just wanted to know two things. If you use Goo Gone, do you have to reapply the wax? Also, I wanted to rearrange the lettering of Cobalt on my car but does that mean I have to reapply adhesive to the lettering and if so, what brand/kind?

 

I believe it was determined that all the factory used was epoxy, so pop down to your local hardware store and get some of that.

I don't think you HAVE to wax it, seeing as it's not gasoline, but hey, who needs an excuse to wax their car?

 

Good call. lol

 

yes, you must re apply the adhesive and wax and also if you are using laquer to remove the stickey use it sparingly I will remove the paint!!!

 

Not trying to be a smartass but Goo Gone = laquer?

 

no goo gone is a citrus based solvent like thinner, laquer is a much more aggressive body solvent

 

K. Thanks for all the help. I'll definitely use Goo Gone then. lol

 

no problem.

 

Yeah, I made the mistake of using varsol (same white bottle, just brown label instead of light blue label in a 4 litre bottle) and couldn't figure out why it looked faded, luckily the wax took it out very nicely.

 

i used goo gone on my black balt and you cant even tell as long as you do a wax on your trunk afterwards. i just used a bottle of mothers caranuba wax and a rag nothing too fancy. but take you time with the goo gone, i sat at the car wash for 2 hours scrubbing and making people mad but im glad i took my time.

 

Chances are if it didn't show up on a black balt than I am good to go. lol Thanks
