I didnt read the other 5 pages of posts ... but be warned. Paper towels will scratch the clearcoat.
Cant believe how much this paint sucks

everything scratches the paint. the paint itself probably scratches the other paint around it

Did INFINITI

That's a lot of Glue. I used terry cloth and whole bottle of goo gone. Took time and rubbed, changing places on the towel frequently. No scratches.

And that was just the letters. I may go for the Fuji logo but I will need another bottle....of goo gone.

S K Y L I N E and 370GT

The fuji in the rear was a pain! I used fishing line, Goo gone and a whole lot of elbow grease. I scratched up the paint but I waxed it a few times after. Looks great now. Good thing mine's an AG.

Hair Dryer

He guys just debadged and rebadged my car last night. Not sure if it was Max or not who said to use a hair dryer and then use fishing line. But that's how I did mine and the letters and G37S came off easy, fishing line cut through it like butter. The mount Fuji was more of a pain, not that it was hard but because it took so long. Sprayed some turtle wax bug tar remover that comes in a 12oz. spray can on the remaining adhesive that didn't roll into a ball. No scratches from what I could tell, I will look at it in the morning to make sure. I will post up pics on another post as soon as I can figure out how to load them onto a message and not as an attachment. Laterz.

SKYLINE only

Thanks for posting this! I just finished rebadging mine using the instructions and it worked like a charm. I have a few minor scratches that I could see if I looked really hard. Mine is AG. I waxed with Zaino's and it helped alot. Check it out! I love it. I don't want to hear no crap about leaving my Mt. Fuiji on because I wanted to leave it.

Yes it is. Just wax the area afterwards.
