hey every1 remember how i said i took off the badges on the rear of my car and some1 said use the goo gone to get off the adhesive.... well all the adhesive is off but you can still see the outlining of the letters where it said ''lancer'' what should i use to make it completely go away???

 

Try to wax it with a cleaner wax. McGuires makes a good one. That should help get rid of the letter ghosts.

And a clay bar might help as well.

Best of luck,

Rob

 

Same thing happend to me. I just used some turtle wax. Goo Gone and other adhisive removers will also remove the wax off of your paint. Just wax the car and the ghost letters dissapear.

 

I put a little gasoline on a rag... I know it sounds crazy & is probably not good for your paint, but that did the trick really well & quick...
Due it at your own risk though... I just used a little bit as I figure I spill gas on the car near the tank every now & then & it isn't bad...

 

I wouldn't recommend this on paint, gasoline is not good for paint or clearcoats at all. Not trying to be a jerk or start flames, but it's just not a good idea.

 

True, in fact I haven't spilt any gas on my car yet, I always tip the nozzle UP before I move it away from the neck. I'm sure wiping a little gasoline on the marks and then washing the gas off would be ok.

 

No worries, bro... It's all good... I still think it's not the brightest idea... but I used it (a little on a rag as explained) washed it off & waxed it... I figure the paint's protected to withstand more than a little gasoline... but it was hit or miss... I may have just gotten lucky...

 

I suppose using a little bit of it quickly wouldn't hurt, I'm just **** about that kinda stuff, especially on my clear-coatless POS... err car

 

Yeah please tell me why there is no clear-coat on the ralliart?

 

Because Mitsu was going for cheap and used a paint with the clearcoat mixed in. Only had to do one layer instead of two, so half the labor.... because the hourly labor rate of a robotic paint arm matters.

 

Um... I wasn't talking about the RA I was talking about my 95 Neon.

 

Coincedentally, there's no clear coat on the RA, either.

 

Ahhhhh, so THAT'S why the paint flakes off Neons SO easily. You do know there was a problem with the 95 Neon paint right? Most of them were "over-baked" so the paint got dry and flaky, thus the large expanses of grey metal showing on many Neons.
Is it possible to put a clear coat on the RA? The paint gets surface scratches in it SO easily. Nothing that can't be buffed out (the scratches are like swirl marks) but a clear coat would help.

 

True. My brother has a '95 Neon, it started peeling just months after he bought it. He got it repainted under warranty, and it still looks fine (as fine as any Neon, I guess) to this day.

 

No, it flakes off cuz they used $hitty paint... lol. Especially the blue and white ones.
