De-badged finally!

Finally got time to debadge the NBP. Can anyone suggest a wax/cleaner to get rid of the "shadow left by the badges. Local auto parts help had no idea what would get rid of it. Thanx for the help.

It's not that noticeable unless you get real close. I have a buffer-just never used it, trying to see if I can get rid of the fade/shadow.

That's what I used - didn't have enough time to wheel it out, just used a regular rag and human strength. It will be done before the Cleveland show.
