Alright guys,
Could anybody give me some tips on how to get rid of these marks that de-badging has left? I'm pretty sure its not the paint having peeled off with the badge or anything, there's no texture to the marks, its just sort of like a stain. My dad thinks T-Cut would work but I know a lot of people don't like to use T-Cut, and neither do I if I don't have to so don't wanna try it on this in case it damages the paint :/
Thanks for any replies,
Paddy!

I hope not! Like I said I can't feel any bump or anything where the mark is :/ but it is a ten year old car so it could well be damaged from being on there so long!

Haha I was like that for a while, I think it's probably made worse because my cars black though, so the marks really stand out because they're a light colour!
Also, use fishing line to get the badges off, just saw behind then with it, works a treat! An eraser to remove the adhesive that's left on the car works pretty well too!

I wanted to debadge mine but looks like the previous owner already did and superglued the badges back on.
