Hood Decal on Mach 1

vmax · June 11th, 2011, 09:47 AM

I hope this is the right place to post this question, if not forgive me.... So I recently bought a Mach 1 and I'm going to have to replace the decal on the hood because its chipping off. Problem is, its leaving most of the glue on the hood. How do I get the glue off without scratching the paint up?

Ive used :

do NOT use:

the second one will eat through EVERYTHING it touches. its like frickin acid in a colored can.

I apply the first one to a soft rag, the rub on it. should take anything off thats left. You can also apply it directly and let it soak on.

Thanks, I'll try that, should be able to pick that up at Wal-mart or an auto store right?

Yes Goo Gone can be picked up at Walmart. I have used it before too

Bug and Tar remover is good too. I use it for alot of things, like removing rubber after racing.

Thanks guys I'll try the goo gone if that doesnt work Ill get some bug and tar remover. Now if I can just find a replacement decal. AM has one but it doesnt have the Mach 1 on both sides.

It's a nice decal but it is glossy black which is why I wouldn't put it on a Mach1

Here's the one on it, I'd like to get the same one if possible.

You could try looking on M1R to see if anybody knows where to buy one

vmax · June 13th, 2011, 11:10 PM

The Goo Gone worked, brought all of the glue off with a little work. Thanks guys.

Thanks I took the old one off and I'm debating on just leaving it off, I think it looks ok without it.

What do you guys think? Leave it as is or put a new one on?

04Machsy · June 13th, 2011, 11:21 PM

I would put another one back on if it was me

Never been much of a decal guy, but in this case I think it looks better with it. Doesn't look bad without either. I would give it a couple weeks and see if it doesn't grow on you as is. At least the current hood is unique.

AutoShepherd · June 14th, 2011, 08:11 PM

I agree, the way it is is more unique.

vmax · June 15th, 2011, 08:43 AM

Yea I'll give it a couple of weeks and go from there. Thanks.

BML99 · June 15th, 2011, 06:42 PM

I like it without as well, it is pretty unique. Such a gorgeous friggin color too!
