De badged the car tthe other week and have noticed today that i can still see where the badges have been.

I have polished them with G3, By hand then used Autoglym super resin polish. Even tried using the megs 3 stage system and still nothing!

I have rubbed and rubbed them and they can still be seen. Has anyone got any advice on how to get rid of them and what to use!

It had crossed my mind about the re spray, But it is completely smooth where the badges where. Unless with all the polishing I have flatened it off!

You need to use a compound on it mate, that stuff contains mild abrasive and removes very thin coat of painting which should sort out the marks you can still see.

Hence the G3 which is an aggressive compound!
