Debadging help

[atticusfaul]

Finished debadging and have slight swirls in the paint where I didn't use soft enough cloth with rubbing compound (turtle wax brand). It's hardly noticeable but is driving me absolutely crazy... Suggestions please!!!

Maybe try a swirl remover product?

I had the same thing; I used clay followed by polish then finishing up with wax. Looks like they were never there.

Go to an auto paint store and ask them for "ebony". Compound is very abrasive because it's meant to break down oxidation and imperfections. Ebony is a much less abrasive product that will bring you luster back. After you use the ebony don't forget to put a coat of wax back on the paint. Ebony is not a wax. Ebony can be rubbed in by hand as well.

Still have slight ghosting at certain angles... Any way to get rid of it or am I SOL?

Not trying to jump in the middle of this thread but what is the easiest way to debadge? I just want to take a few off and tried to get my fingernail under them but they are on there pretty good.

Yep... I guess I'll just give it some time for now and give it a shot when I give it the deep clean before winter.
