5745, How do I get the word ECLIPSE off my center piece? Posted by alexries, Jun-23-01 09:36 AM I removed the word "ECLIPSE" now I can't get the imprint it left on the center piece off. I got all the sticky crap off, but you can still see the word from certain angles. I think the center piece might be faded and where the word used to be it isn't, is there some polish that will completely get rid of the rest or do I have to wait for that to fade also? | |

5746, RE: How do I get the word ECLIPSE off my center piece? Posted by Hurricane_GS, Jun-23-01 11:17 AM Go to the auto part store and look for a product put out by KIT. It is a small yellow bottle of scratch out. It is a very mild rubbing compound. It will fix it right up. | |

Posted by bustrblue1, Jun-23-01 01:17 PM that Kit stuff sucks! i took it back and got my money back. i got the turtle wax rubbing compound. but that was for the body not the tail lights. it might work for that but it is extremely mild. if it's thick or something i don't know if i'd use it. maybe though | |

Maybe sme oops stuff. Load it with windex. Then goo gone or oops. Now, take a fnger or thumb and just bare down and rub it. The shit should flake off kinda like dried elmer's glue. | |

5749, RE: How do I get the word ECLIPSE off my center piece? Posted by alexries, Jun-23-01 04:51 PM Thanks I'll try the windex and goo gone idea. I've used goo gone before and I'm sure that should work. Thanks 9D9 | |

5750, RE: How do I get the word ECLIPSE off my center piece? Posted by 9D9 MITSU RS, Jun-24-01 11:02 AM I would say let it soak, then after 10 minutes, do it again, and rub it off. That worked for me, but hey, your car couldbe different somehow. | |

5752, RE: How do I get the word ECLIPSE off my center piece? Posted by 9D9 MITSU RS, Jun-24-01 01:31 PM SHIT, brake cleaner takes paint doesn't it? Take off the piece if u do that. I say sand it and get it painted. That's what I plan to do. | |
