where it says lancer on my '02 OZ, i took all the remaining sticky goo off but i can still see the outline of each letter! what can i do to get rid of that and make it look clean?

Odds our its the paint, it has fadded everywhere but where the letters and badges were. May have to repaint.

I just did this to mine a few days ago too, I waxed and polished it, and used this "scratch out" stuff that is suppose to get out little scratches and restore color, and it looks a little bit better. but i can also see "LANCER" on the back of my trunk. only when i am looking at it up close, and from the side, i am very picky tho!

GL!

clay, is your only hope, if it doesn't come out w/ clay, then it will never come out.

Try goo gone. My friend took the metal "318i" off of his BMW and it had the same outline. He went through a bottle of goo gone makin it come off. He poured it onto the tip of a polisher and got it to come off.

I used something similar but it wasn't really geared towards goo removal as it was more for removing the gunk from your hands. Anyways just take an rag (semi damp) and put some of the [insert whatever product you're using] and scrub somewhat hard (not too hard but hard enough) and run your index finger over it (if it still feels sticky repeat)

anyways thats what i did when I removed the Carmax sticky from my car-not sure if it'd work for debadging.

I don't think there is much to do. I took off the lancer and es badges on the trunk. The car is an '03, and I did this in '07. I think because of all that time, dirt gets in the "goo," and no matter how long you spend on getting it off, you will still see the outline. I went to a body shop and was told to just repaint if I'm that picky. Goo Gone works well though to get most of the adhesive off.

speaking of goo gone where the hell do you buy the stuff from?

mylancermyjoy · Jul 9, 2009, 02:11 PM

I'm sure I bought it at Wal-Mart. Try either the automotive and tool section, or where you find all the cleaning chemicals. It's fairly cheap for a big bottle, and a little bit goes a long way. Just make sure the adhesive is saturated before you start scraping it off... it works a lot better.

i used goo gone several years ago when I did this and it came off completely. soak it, let it sit, soak it again... take your time. it will come off.

yea how long should I let it sit? 5-10 minutes?

BlackOZLancer · Jul 11, 2009, 11:32 AM

yeah give it a couple minutes to soak and then you'll be fine...i used that stuff when i took the lancer off my car but like everybody else in certain light and angle you can still see the outline nothing you can do about it the paint has faded around the letters thats all

Infamous_pt4 · Jul 11, 2009, 11:35 AM

thats the paint man , if you wait to take em off you will see the fade in the paint , thats why i took mine off soon as i got the car , i had that problem with my last car so i knew this time around
