Use mothers wax but i would run down to my dealer first and see if they will do it for you. Worth a try, they always do it for me!!!

I usualy go in for soemthing else (to the dealer) and ask them if they could take care of that for me, and they usualy do for free. Cause when i debadged mine, I had an outline of the bowtie emblem engraved lightly in the paint, and now that **** is GONE!
