Problem after debadge
Hey gents
Debadged the back of my wagon today and after removing the SUBARU badge and clearing all the glue with sovent i have a white outline where the badge was, kinda looks like the paint has come off
Will take some close up pics and see if any of you had the same removing your badges

It might just need a good going over with a Mechine polisher and some cutting compound.

Tardis will remove that. Did a fellas UK2000 and had the same prob. If you can't get tardis try using autoglym tar remover.

There is points where i can get my nail into it but only where it seems chipped not around the whole area
