Sometimes women and cars, don't mix. LOL
This is going to be one of the more bizarre posts you will read on this forum in awhile.
So the other day I was power washing my SE-R and the Nissan emblem fell off the front grill. Luckily I saw it fall off and grabbed it. I went to the store and got some .99 cent superglue to get it back on there.
When we got home, I asked my g/f to come outside and help me glue it back on.
Big mistake.
I handed her a rag to place on the front bumper under the grille to catch any superglue that may dribble down. I guess she put the rag in her left pocket.
So I put glue on the back of the emblem, aligned it properly, and held it on to seal it for like 2 minutes. I saw a few drops of glue about to fall down and told her to place the rag on the bumper BUT INSTEAD OF PUTTING DOWN THE RAG, SHE PUT DOWN A FRIKKIN WALMART RECEIPT SHE HAPPENED TO HAVE IN HER OTHER POCKET. I didn't notice it at first because I was using both hands to hold the emblem firm against the grille.
So some drips of superglue fell onto the Walmart receipt, soaked through and then apparently glued the black ink into my WHITE paint. I of course, flipped out. She said she grabbed it out of the wrong pocket by accident. The paint is of course, pretty much ruined.
So far I've tried:
1) Rubbing alcohol
2) Heavy duty engine degreaser
3) Rubbing compound
4) Cleaner wax
5) Scrubbing the shit out of it with soap
6) Mother's clay bar
and
7) My last resort is lacquer thinner. I have not yet used it, I'm afraid.
This paint job, while not the greatest, was like $1,400 and it's only 10 months old. I told her if I can't get this shit out, she's paying for it. Any suggestions on how to get black ink super glued into the paint off a WHITE car?? I even called a body shop and they were like "uhh wait, can you say that again?? WHAT HAPPENED?" :wtf:
OH and here's the photo of the damage:
