Ok, so tomorrow i plan on washing my car cause i just got it back today from the shop. I want to take off the olds sign on the front bumper, because the new bumper doesnt have the indentation!!!! but my question is..... if i take it off and use goo-gone on the sticky crap, will that effect the paint? since it was just painted about a week ago? just asking, might be a dumb question, but i want to make sure i dont take the paint off!

Thanks!

oh yea, and if i take that wind shield out from under the car, does it even do anything???? cause the new side ones they put on dont even look good, they look like they are from some other car. lol

WD-40 works for sticky stuff on paint and great for tar and bugs. I have had my wind sheild thing off of my car for a while and have seen no effect

umm, if i am not mistaken, it can take up to a month for your paint to fully cure and harden and release all the gasses. im not 100% for sure though...

Goo gone is fine for the paint on your car just need to rewax after using cause it will take that off.

ok dont listen to that guy, i will inform you about fresh paint, if the clear is baked at 140-160 degrees, and then cooled down for 1 hour, the clear can be waxed with out a problem , that is according to PPG
if the clear is not baked, then the full cure time is 90 days, if the painter put flex agent in the clear for the bumpers, flex agent evaporates, after 30 days
so you wash the car, but use a poilsh, not a wax on fresh paint, next time ask if the clear was baked on, you will find your answer above

my question is why doesnt the bumper have the indentation for the o lds embalm??? if this is only a week old, take a flat wide scraper and slowly get one side loose and then have you heat gun ready to heat up the tape , pull it off, i would use ppgs dx440, instead of those other products, its safer, stronger, and i know for a fact it wont eat through no paint job
and the lower radiator deflector, though it may look useless, it actually does a purpose of feeding cold air onto the radiator, and what other pieces are you talking about that dont look right

Leave it on.... looks retarded without an emblem up there.

if you do pull the lower radiator deflector off, how much do you want for the center piece? im missing mine, and want another one... pm me with details please

Thank you bdyman for the information. They did use flex agent.... and when i go to school tuesday i will ask to use dx440 to get that shit off. I have no idea why there isnt an indentation in the bumper, but i dont care. LOL, it will look A LOT cleaner without it there!!!

and tw0123, if i do take it off i will let you know, but i guess i will be leaving it on for a while.
