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

Simple. Use a scotch pad and scrub it with soapy water. But you'll be left with a dull patch in which just just use a medium grit compound rub or polish to bring it back.
Thinner will remove your lacker and maybe even paint. Clay bar will do nothing to glue and you'll be wasting money. Sanding will destroy the paint work if yo go too deep. This post has been edited by yellowchinaman: Jun 29, 2011 - 12:44 PM |
