Ok, so I removed the rear bowtie and it left some adhesive behind. I used a 3M adhisive remover made for cars and then the paint looked cloudy there. I tried cleaning the spot, nothing. I took some rubbing compound and used that then waxed the area, nothing. What else can I try or is my paint just fubar right there? I love the look of the clean ass end but if you catch it in the right light you can see the duller area. I am thinking of painting and putting the bowtie back on. Any help would be great!

Yea mine did the same thing i just painted my bow tie and put it back on. I Auctally like it alot better. I rather not hide who makes my car kuz im not assamed!

 

Should have used a hair dryer

 

used a heat gun didn't need the hair dryer. and I'm not assamed of chevy, its all I have ever owned and I have a bowtie tattoo on my sholder, I just like the clean look.

 

Have you tried wet sanding it yet? Can you tell if it's still in the clear coat?

 

I havn't wet sanded it. Thats a good idea! I used rubbing compound and it didn't touch it. How much further will wet sanding go?

 

What rubbing compound did you use? 3M? Is there anyway you can post up a picture of the area? It would really help me to recommend what steps would be best to take.

 

Wet sand w/ 2000-2500 grit first to minimize clear removal then use perfect it III buffing compound can be bought @ most auto paint supply stores

 

Sounds good, will try that. Thanks a bunch!

Slowbalt i had the same problem like i stated above but i have found a solution! I went to my local walmart and found Scratch out. Its in a bright yellow bottle. All ya do it clean teh area ya want to fix. buff it onto the area for about a min, let sit for about a 30 secs with a hair drire blowing on it then buff again, 30 sec hair drier, then buff then use a cloth and rub off. Do it a few times and it will be gone. I was amazed on how good it makes it. Awesome stuff!!
