I agree with Mark. When I saw the sponge, I said oh no please say your kidding. You did not use that. I would also go with the scratch-x 2.0 Good luck. Let us know if it worked.

id say he's serious. I know a guy that used a scotch sponge to get some egg off, that's exactly what they do to paint.

The Ultimate Compound is very strong.. best not not to jump straight to that.

As mentioned, try ScratchX 2.0 to solve the problem.

Even SwirlX would be milder, but might be too mild for that.

When I opened the thread and saw the picture of the sponge I immediately let out an, "ooooohhh noooo!"

Now, that said, you should be able to fix this fairly easy. In my personal experience, new Infiniti G series vehicles have very soft and thin paint. I would recommend using some ScratchX 2.0 rather than Ultimate Compound.

Start off with very mild pressure and check your work. If needed, add a little more pressure.

For the best final finish you want to use minimal pressure on your last couple passes to "back it out" so to speak.

Hope this helps.

so i decided to use the green side of one of these sponges to get the glue residue off that holds the emblems on my car. this is what became of 30 seconds of scrubbing...



i was told if i used the Meguiars Ultimate Compound it should make the area look a lot better if not fix it....what do you guys think?
