Debadged this morning. Came out pretty good. The S after the 2.5S came out the worst. It was the first letter I did and I left some marks. Note to everyone else: Don't scrub with a sponge. Tried the peanut butter method but it didn't really work. Maybe I was just doing it wrong. Ended up using a hair dryer, dental floss, and my fingers mostly, for the entire job. Here's a crappy picture for you're enjoyment.

Well, I've debadged every car I've ever owned. Not because I don't feel like I should advertise for Nissan or anything, I just think it looks clean and makes the car stand out a little more. Plus, for someone like me who doesn't plan on doing serious modifications, it's just a little something to keep me happy.

The best thing for stubborn sticker gunk is to go to your local advanced auto parts shop and get this thing called Tree Sap remover (or something like that, you should be able to find it) and its a white can with a plastic top, theres no spray, it should be able to spill out onto a cloth or something. It doesnt effect the paint/clearcoat at all. so just apply on a piece of cloth and rub the sticker gunk off, then wax over. and your good to go.

The peanut oil will take off the adhesive residue. or you can go to your local pep boys or auto zone and get a can of tree sap removal which is safe for all clear coats
