i just took mine off and this is what it looks like.. know of anything to take this 15yr old dirt and **** off? maybe some goo be gone and a wax?

 

i would try soap and water
then some type of cleaner if that doesnt work
followed by a nice wax

 

i did soap and water and got the black **** off.. but theres still sticky stuff on it from the rubber seal on there. i rubbed it hard with the cloth and soap and it started smearing making a blackish **** lookin skidmark..

would it be smart to use a color matching wax or just normal wax? i have normal maguires(sp) wax

 

WD40?

 

you think??

 

goo gone

 

i used goo gone when i removed my emblems and it got that stick stuff off.
I also used Maguires afterwards.

 

Just polish it with any type of wax.

 

be careful with the goo-be-gone, any citrus-based cleaners, or wd-40... they all work pretty well... but if you rub toooo hard into the material trying to get the stuff off... you'll sure get the crap out, but your clear coat might go with it as well... just a warning, good luck!

 

Clay that ****. I removed the wing on my DA, and I had some black crap engraved on the paint...for ***** and giggles, i tried an old bar of Mother's clay and Meguiar's detailer and it came right off.

 

i'll go run to autozone tomorrow.. also does anyone know the right size of plugs to use for the holes?

im going to also spray paint them white to try and "match" them with the paint color

 

I know the big plug is 1/2, and some of the small ones are 1/4. There's one or two more sizes I can't remember. 3/8 MIGHT be one of them

 

were can you get those plugs. im thinking of doing the same thing

 

i heard acura carry's them but for 7 bucks.. then some guy in another thread posted a part number but never posted the damn place to buy them

so the big hole meaning the center hole? then the smaller holes are the two outside holes on either side?

 

hey go to the junkyard goo too a DA or EF any will do open the front doors and there will b a black Plug there just pick it out .. it's fits in tight and looks pretty nice .. and u can get them for a 5 finger discount

 

i'd spend less buying them at a store or somethin than to drive my *** way down there burning up all that damn gas..

but that will be a last resort u know..

which ones which??? AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

any type of cleaner wax or rubbing compound would clean that right up..... even GS-27 would work.

 

so are the hole sizes different? or all 5 of them the same?

 

i just did mine. wash it then use adhesive remover. follow it up with some wax.

I 2nd this! I had a DA that had the gay *** sunroof visor on it. When I took it off the surface of the paint was all rough and had dirt stuck to it that would just not come off. Got a clay bar and was amazed. It took all the dirt out of the paint and you couldnt even see it anymore. I continued to clay the entire car, what a difference. I am a firm believer in clay bars now.

 

clay bar it...that **** works wonders....trust me.
