debadging rear tail light

[DannyGSX]

Took off ECLIPSE lettering a few weeks ago, kind of wish I hadn't because I can still read ECLIPSE from being there for so long. Stupid me. Is there anything I can do besides wait for it to hopefully look better?

paint it

buff the hell out of it. It never completely goes away. I just ended up painting it.

Sand it down with steel wool untill it goes away and then as dsmking said, buff away until it is shiny again.

Goof off or like product plus you can take a hair dryer and heat it up to melt the glue then wipe it with a rag.

Your best bet is your going to have to lightly sand them and polish them, just like clearing out the haze on our headlights...did it for a buddy of mine...and it came out lookin new... jz be patient when doing it...

Like said previously, sand it, be careful not to over do it. Wet sand it or buff it, then a coat of clear... Should take care of it, mostly anyways. If it fails then you can sand off the clear and just paint it.

Wet sand and buff it should go away eventually. If you know anyone with a nice electric buffer it will go much quicker.

thanks a lot guys. The only reason I didn't want to paint it is because red 2g's are the only color the center tail light painted doesn't look good IMO

Grits 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, then polish.

Do what I did and pay Maaco the $45 they charge to professionally paint it. The piece still looks great over 1 1/2 years later.

You could order new lettering too.
I see new OEM 'Eclipse" tail light stickers on e-bay, from time to time.
Or you could buy a new used center section.

I work in a body shop where we have people ask us the same thing. We always tell them to take a 2000 grit on an orbital or DA sander and wetsand it off, then take a rubbing compound and buff it. We do this on older cars that want a good shine out of them.
