There is nothing left but you can still see where the letters were. Not sure if its visible in this picture but it is during the day.

 

Either there's residual adhesive or you used adhesive remover that's damaged the paint. Could also be that the area covered by the letters was protected from the sun, keeping its color while the rest of the pint faded.

 

I'm guessing the paint faded option, any fix for that?

 

If it's clearly defined (which it looks like it is), fading would be my guess, red cars fade the worst. Take it to a detailer and ask them, they can probably do a paint correction/restoration that will make the two shades match, but it'll be pricey.

 

Eh, I need to do some touch up paint to my bumper so when I do that I'll just sand that spot and repaint it myself.

 

YIKES! Unless you're a pro, it's going to look worse. I would only do that as an absolute last resort. Read up on some of the detailing theads on here, a GOOD wax, maybe a claybar, would be a great place to start, see if just cleaning up the surface that was debadged and surrounding area will make it blend together better.

 

rub in some more bug n tar remover or wd-40 works too (DOESNT HURT PAINT)! lol then wax it real good, if it didnt help get a clay bar and buff it

 

Try a claybar.

 

polish it with an aggressive compound. might help some.

 

WD-40 is a debadging godsend.

 

its just faded, you need to polish your car

 

that might not even help depending on the extent of the car. mileage, aftermarket paint(if its been painted) and so forth.

reds fade pattern is pretty shitty compared to most others and if its real bad then good luck. even after a polish you will still see it. doesnt hurt to try though at all.

whoever said use touch up paint...dont even bother. you need someone with a wool pad, a good compound and some polishing compound and foam pads to do the trick.

 

I used a rubbing compound.

 

i had the same issue on my car. idk how bad urs is bc i cant see it really from the pic BUT i just used mild rubbing compounds a few car washes and let time and sun go at it and eventually it was just fine

 

use a ultimate compound on it and buff and wax. try to use clay bar as well

 

polishing compound will work very well.. any other wax wont do dick.

 

lol it works great for it

 

It's honestly hard for us to say since we can't see it in person. It's either residue left over, or faded. Can't say for sure though....
