I have a great idea:

Have your Caps lock button fixed and start typing normally.

Use goo gone and then buff it out with 3M scratch remover for dark cars and you will never be able to tell something was there.

Here's a better question: What inspired you to remove the badges in the first place? Are you ashamed to own an Acura and don't want others to know what it is?

i did something similiar and i fucked my shit up got all kinds of scratches and crap and you ca see where it used to say 3.0cl and because i forgot the trunk had been recently repainted i ended up chipping a couple peices of paint off and tried to use some touch up to fix it and man was that a bad idea. :o

its ok now the trunk matches the rest of my car, crappy ass paint job. i am almost ashamed to go to the bay area meet because i dont want other cl owners to see it:o

Just a little note for the future, it helps to use exclamation/lower case letters. It makes it a little easier to understand.

The reason I did it was because I like the cleaner look of my trunk...I also changed the silver Acura symbol to the blue symbol...I am not ashamed of my CL...I love my CL..

diesel is the cheapest and works the best.. there is no need to go and buy 3 or 4 different things just to take off some goo....it took me about 3minutes to take mine off and you cant tell that there were badges there it is clean....diesel is a few cents....probably 50 cents to fill a spray bottle...you cant beat that

fuel solvent

If no kero, charcoal lighter fluid works just as good and is benign to factory paint.

mine were a bitch too, and i did it in the middle of winter. got so damn frustrated :angry: i ended up using alcohol and some WD-40 then polishing compound and rubbing compound. turned out pretty well, but there is some ghosting but not enough to see it in my pics (in my sig). How much is that 3M stuff? Maybe that will help w/the ghosts.

Heat them up wiht a blow dryer then use fishing line behind them and they come off fairly clean. By the way the 3M scratch remover cost $8 a bottle but it works wonders on swirls and scratches. Well worth it
