How to remove the REAR BADGES?
#16
Re:
I finally decided to debadge my rear on my '05 Black G356mt!
I used fishing line and A LOT of Goo Gone to remove the adhesive.
I am overall happy, however, this process left behind not only a HALO but many micro scratches as well. These scratches really show on my Black G.
Any advice out there as to what I can do to get rid of the HALO and the numerous micro scratches??
Thanks in advance!

Have you waxed the area since? Also the Halo will slowly fade as weather and time take their toll on the area. There is no way to fully get rid of the Halo because the area under the badges were protected rom the sun since day one, whereas the rest of the rear was exposed to it. Therefore, the whole paint is sun bleached to a certain degree and the new area exposed will naturally be darker. Time is the best solution to getting rid of the marks.

Should that take care of the problem?

When you use the abrasive polish it will even it out and it will look perfect again. Assuming the outline isn't super noticeable I would say the Poorboy's World SSR 1.0 would do the job. Just apply it with a nice clean applicator I like the microfiber applicators but whatever works for you.

only time when it sits outside - when i do car wash.
of course...when i drive and have a lunch w/ my fellas...my baby sees the sun
