Removing the 370Z logo

I tried today but everything didn't come off even with goo gone. I even scratched the car a bit, Can someone help me!

Will a fairlady badge cover this?

Remove as much of the residue using compounds, then polish, then seal and/or wax. Use goo gone but don't use too much. You'll need a good orbital polisher if you can borrow one or buy one for yourself plus pads. It is a good tool to have for your stable.

Oh ok. I used goo gone too but it still managed to come out like that

Will I just be good if I cover it with another badge? A fairlady or something without all the hassle?

Nope, you'll have to do some paint correction first. I would not cover it up with a badge unless it is clean, otherwise it would look like you are covering it up and be very obvious.

Like he stated, compound then polish should take care of it.

I had a sweet old lady back into my 2010 Nismo on the first week of ownership.. The nice
lady was very honest. She left her name, address, and even her Insurance
agents phone number. The insurance company paid for a brand new OEM
rear bumper and after paint never installed the 370Z emblem or the Nismo
logo... Sorta the old school look and happy with the results ... I see this sweet old lady every
once in awhile at are local Safeway market and smile and wave to her as well.
That was four years ago and I noticed that her station wagon has a few more new additional paint colors on it as well....................
