Right guys and girls...I know you've all prob done it or a good amount of you. I decided to take my MEG badge off but a slight problem, although I really like it and it suites the car fine, I've been left with this

What's the best way to get it off the paintwork?
Cheers

 

[Salty]

looks ok to me mate. if what you mean is the glue and foam then I used some clay followed by a quick polish that should sort it

 

[Jacob]

Can you seen what I mean?? I've for all the glue off but left with the dark lettering were the badges was.

 

[snapper25]

Have you clayed and or polished it?.

 

[Jacob]

Not yet didn't really think that They would work. Thought it was deeper than what the products could lift.

 

[aj03mav]

Try t cut.. Colour restor and then polish and wax. That's what j did with mine...

 

[Bradders]

Its just where the paintwork has weathered around where the badge used to be. I had the same problem when i removed the renaultsport badge too. Just clayed and polished as mentioned above.

polish it with some compound and give it a few week and it will go down mate.

 

[Jacob]

Cheers guys. I'll have to buy in some product in. Any recommends???

 

[Paddy]

My mates did exactly the same...

I attacked it with 3M, 3 stage cutting on a dual action polisher...

Not a trace left when finished.

 

[Jacob]

I don't own one :-( or I would. But see what Santa brings me.
What's the 3stage? Or what three products. Cheers

 

[Paddy]

This is a link to the 3M products and a discription....

In my opnion by far the best cutting compounds out there. Expensive in comparison but worth every penny for the job they do.

 

[Jacob]

I've just this minute been looking at the fast cut + plus compound. So added the three from the link you sent in my basket and now for a DA.

 

[Paddy]

yea they need to be used as a combination...

First Fast Cut Plus to remove swirls. Then Extra Fine Compound to remove small scratch left by fast cut. After Ultrafina SE Polish to remove any holograms / fill areas let by the two previous.

I would have a good look at the 'Kestrel das6 pro' dual action polisher.

I have had mine for over 4 years with plenty of use and it runs like day one.

Jacob,

If it came off in one piece (and you don't want to keep it), can I buy the 'M' off of you? I snapped mine whilst cleaning the car a while ago!

Cheers.
