i painted my front scion badge black and was glueing it back on when a lil dripped on the bumper. i wiped most of it off, but it left a rough feeling residue. its not that bad, but you can see it at certain angles. will a claybar work? what should i do?

 

Why did you glue it? You should have read my tutorial. Use 3M double backed adhesive tape, cleaner and easier to use.

man I hate it when that happens...i got some on the back seat when chillin with my girl one time.

 

get a rag or old tshirt and an iron. put the rag between the iron and the glue and heat it up so that the rag will soak up the glue

 

that rag trick works with wax i dotn know about superglue.

 

acetone or nail polish remover will remove super glue. Use it on the end of a q-tip but be careful. Might want to polish it out after youre done. Acetone way leave a little dull spot on the clear coat.

 

Try nail polish remover first and yes B-E--C-A-R-E-F-U-L! Acetone should be your LAST resort...it will go through your paint really fast. You might try some Bug and Tar Remover spray, it might be just strong enough to break up the glue without damaging the paint. Also be careful not to use too much force, if the glue chips off, it can take the clearcoat AND basecoat with it.

you can buy those adhesive remover cloths. they worked great when taking off the tape residue on my CF hood from the packaging.

 

My front emblem on my maxima was all gross and becoming green...I tried everything with no luck. So finally against my instinct I used paint remover...yea...paint remover. A small dab dripped on my bumper running all the way down it, I didn't notice until like an hour later. It started a chain reaction and now there is a nice 1 square foot section right in the middle of my bumper where the paint pealed off.

Needless to say I was ____ed. Just be careful with those chemicals around your paint.

 

The thing about acetone is that it evaporates almost instantly. If use use a q-tip you can probably get away with it. It wont stay on the paint long enough to really hurt the paint. Dont be wiping a cloth dipped in it or anything obviously.

 

Acetone might work. Like instigator wrote, acetone does evaporate quickly (plus its really cold to the touch after long use from evaporation) apply it on a rag and wipe it down. The acetone will remove your wax and what-not so make sure you polish, wax again get it off. I dont see a problem with it hurting the paint

 

Some glue?

 

so fingernail polish wont ruin the paint? i definately wont use acetone.

 

yea I was building some crafts

 

Fingernail polish remover is basically acetone but mixed with some other stuff to dilute it. It should work.

 

i mean fingernail polish remover, ill try that w/ a q-tip

 

Wait a minute- Are we still talking about glue? lol

 

hahahah.. sick sick minds...

Agreed. And we all know how much clearcoat and paint there really is to start with....
