So after today's joyous victory for the LA Kings, I decided to give the hatchling a bath and remove the badges.
- Washed with Armor All Cold Wash
- Used Plast-X for the plastics (does one hell of a job)
- Turtle Wax Liquid Clay Bar (Better than Mothers IMO)
- Turble Wax Clear Wax (Easy on, not easy to clean up)
- Armor All Glass Cleaner (cleaned up the mess the tint guys made :angry: )

I'm a little scared to do that with the state of the curb at the front. Its a stupid incline coming up from a level roadway.

You try reversing onto an incline with a manual transmission without hitting the house. :D
To debadge, I used dental floss while my dad held the hairdryer to warm up the glue.
After you get the badges off, there is some foamy substance that is still glued. More heat and using a plastic gasket scraper (fingernails help too but do very gently), the foam stuff peels off.
After that, just use some goo gone to remove any glue residues.
Make sure you wash, claybar and wax afterwards to prevent any problems.

Will go there soon enough. Cash flow problems ATM cause of the finance payments. That'll change soon enough.
