How can I smooth this out? The 16-year-old glue from the emblems is killer.

clay bar

think of claybar as 2000grit sandpaper

use rubbing compound (i just did mine a month ago) polishing compound you want to use after the rubbing compound of course. just alot easier then using solvents that you dont know if they will harm clearcoat or not, hell the rubbing compound works faster then solvents anyways. and just a fyi most clay bars remove contaminants in the paint, if you want to fix blemishes best to use a buffer and a few different chemicals. i suggest a porter cable 7424xp or any random orbital polisher(not the crappy walmart ones) dont be scared of a random orbital. circular buffers are what burn paint up if you dont know what your doing, random orbital is very simple to use and get the hang of!..oh yeah id still get a claybar and use it before a good waxing, to tell if you need to use the clay run the back of your hand over the paint after a wash, if it feels gritty/sandpapery it needs a claybar.good luck..

claybar would be if you have bee crap stains all over your car


Hector, coming from me a person who lives for the color Black on 6's DO polishing compound first! not just because its the lightest out of all compounds or I dont have trust in you using highly abbrasive stuff............i'd rather keep using chemicals that take off as little as possible than..........using something that high in abbrasive-ness and you going pass the clear.
