So today I get the notion to take the chevy badge off the rear. I took the gm ones on the side so i figure no problem. I read in a thread that someone used a credit card. well....BAD Idea I got a bunch of little scratches all around where I used the fricking credit card. can anyone suggest what to buy at auto zone that should get rid of these scratches, they are faint and not deep, but I CAN SEE THEM!!!! Drives me nuts!!!!!

 

polishing compound.

 

buff it

 

what they said ^

 

any particular type and will i need a buffer??? I hope not cause I dont have one!!!! lol

well waht brand and do i need a buffer?? Can I do it by hand?

 

i actually put some polishing compound on some scratches on my rear bumper and buffed them by hand and they didnt come off. i'm gonna try my cheap-o buffer from auto zone next time.

 

go with meguiars

 

Meguiars polishing compound or wax???? Should I use a beffer

 

even cleaner wax will do.

 

even cleaner wax??? Any brand name??? Or is that it???

wonder if rubbing compound will work???

 

Bug and Tar remover works great for me

 

ok...you read my how-to and i feel obligated to help you...

you are gonna need to polish and then wax it...

cleaner wax will not fix your problem...

try a polish designed for hand use and then if that doesnt work you are probably going to need to use a high-speed buffer

 

auto body shopped charged me 20 bucks to buff my bowtie scratches out. Totally worth it.

 

WOW AWESOME IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly i live two miles from a shop and never thought of it!!! Damm I love this site!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks bro!!!

 

I buff little things for kids at my work too and we charge them 20 bucks to do something like what you need it takes about 2 sec

Well come one over and Ill give ya twenty bucks and YOU can do it. ha

 

used the meguiars 2.0 spent 10 bucks pretty much took them out but I can still see them a little, oh well thats what I get for listening to boostedss

 

Wait what did i say? bring it to a bodyshop and have it buffed?

 

Im not a whittle kid lol, im just messing the 2.0 actually worked pretty good, not show quality but it will do, maybe next time Ill just get someone else to debadge it since I obviously can I guess!!! Dammit, honestly Ill try to post pics and show ya.

 

Use fishing line and pull against the BADGE, not the paint.

What exactly did you think was going to happen?

 

tell me about it man. my car gets mysterious small scratches sometimes. drives me nucking futs

 

i used a credit card and fishing line and had no problem, mines an 05 too, not sure if that will matter with the paint or not.

 

ddamm the fishing line idea sounds like it would have been better!!! I used a credilt card (pep boys) and it just left little scrates everywhere i used the card. damm car is black so EVERYTHING SHOWS!!! But i love black soo i gotta deal with it. When its clean its soooooo nice, Yeah everytime i wash it, boom another scratch!! You know those spray waxes, I think they are bad personally, I mean it takes out the spots and stuff but I think they creat swirls??!!!??

 

The user creates swirls, not the wax. lol

 

ha sooo true, thanks for reminding me to kick myself AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
