Has this ever happened to any of you?

Hey guys, I was debadging the "Accord" and "LX" from the car today and the "LX" came off fine and Goo-Gone took care of the residue, came out real clean.

The "Accord" however...not so much. The emblem came off real quick with the dental floss but that's because there was barely any tape or glue left on the actual badge, it was all left on the car. After intense use of elbow grease and Goo-Gone I was able to scrape all that crap off mainly using my thumb nail as a tool.

Well to get to the point, what I thought were minuscule strands of glue left turned out to be chipped paint as a result of the glue I'm guessing. Has this happened to anyone else or was the glue so corroded onto my car that I'm the first case lol. Here's some pics.

In the last pic you can see what's left after I worked everything else off. It's very faint in the picture but you can see the chipping.

my old accord, the "lx" was still stuck into the bumper and looked ****ty, like your "accord". i ended up getting it fixed and repainted.

you can only tell from up close.

I think taking the emblems off is pointless....for any car. Is it really that bad to rock a an "H" in the back of your car?????? Flame suit is officially ON.

Mine was exactly like that but less visible. After a few hand carwashes and one wax/detail job, it was gone. If you look REAL hard you can see it but it's a lot better than it was.

i rather rock the h but i would def get rid of accord. gives the car more of a stealth look.

i hate that. on my civic i took the civic emblem off and it was on there for so long that it left the mark right on the clear so it was there for ever.. lolzz
but on my accord that happened 2 but i just took some compound and a buffer to it for a while and it almost all came off. and when i went to take off the lx emblem the damn paint chipped so i stuck the emblem back on lolz..

That happened when I did my too, and since it's black it really stands out. Had I known the glue was eating up paint I probably would've left it on...

but now its just motivation for new paint
