Default Debadged, but left the zest!

I decided to leave the Quattro badge on. I think it's a damn good statement of the car (that and everybody else peels off every logo except the Audi rings)



I need to wash my rims and get them shiny again.



You can still kinda see the the spot where the "1.8T" was, I'm going to try to buff that out a bit.



The "A" and the "4" came off just fine.



Not so much the "1.8T" =(



Hardcore angles.

As for the 1.8T part still showing up, I think there's some wax buildup. When I run my fingers over it, it feels grooved, so there's a difference in levels. I just used some Goof-Off (Kerosene-based, so it's paint-friendly), dental floss (Mint flavored ftw), and some towels. Anybody know what kind of product I need to get the fade the outlines away?

I hit mine with a clay bar kit and the rest of the residue came off.

Hey, yeah, that's amazing, but you know what would be a great idea? Removing the color-keyed body side molding and taking pictures for me. And the world. Just a thought.

Sineo's really set on getting someone to take off their side molding. Maybe one night I'll get really drunk and do it. Then regret it in the morning.
