Help for Badge Removal

alright guys i jsut removed that huge chevy emblem off the back and i have some problems

you can see where the chevy emblem was, and there was little scratchs around from removing it with a credit card and trying to get all the goo off.

i tryed some rubbing compound and the Nufinish and it looks better but this is wat i have now. i want to remove all the haze around where it was and get those tiny scratches out to make it match the rest of the car and so you cant see where it was.







thanks guys

buff them out with an ordinary orbital buffer..
or you could try Turtle Wax color cure, it comes with a stick that you rub in the scratch, then wax over it.

make sure you get blue. it comes in all colors.

you're not supposed to use anything other than a hair dryer, wd-40 and your finger (not the nail)

I used fishing line for everything on my car and don't have a single scratch.

Have you tried Meguiar's scratchX?
