Taillight Eclipse Emblem Faded

amhalon · 11-16-2002, 04:56 PM

I took off my Eclipse sticker that was accross the center taillight insert, and the taillight is faded where the stickers used to be. I tried to use Goo-Gone, but that didn't work. So I'm wondering if the sun could have faded it or something. I really don't want to have it painted but I'd like for it to look a bit cleaner. Anyone have any other ideas on how to get rid of it? Thanks.

You can't get rid of it. The tailight plastic has faded everwhere except what was hidden behind the ECLIPSE lettering.

go to a motorcycle shop and get a plasitc polish. i bought some and did my lights it shines them up very well and takes a lot of scratchs out. you buy trhee bottoms . it is easy to do.

A single or multiple-step polish/cleaner will remove scrathes and headlight 'yellowing' but it won't make much of a difference on the taillight piece. I've tried....

I had the same problem too. I took off the lettering about a month ago and the Elipse ghost was there. But only a month later, it seems to be almost gone.

I did try to use some cleaner polish as well as the Goo-Gone, but neither worked at all. Mine starts to disappear the farther away you get also, but it still bugs me. Anyone know of anywhere I could get another one that probably isnt faded so I can de-tag that one? Thanks.
