Removed "rental Badges" - 5/11/2006 12:14:25 AM    05 Silvertible Posts: 231 Joined: 3/14/2006 Status: offline I just removed my rental badges and now it seems like I have small scratches down the entire outline where they were...Rubbing compound or what for a fix. Why would there be scratches outlining them? _____________________________ Post #: 1

But yeah they came off very easy and it was chilly outside. Trying some goo gone and wax today report back later. BTW..I ran a carfax report on my car and it didnt mention a rental place being the owner how can I tell who really had my car first?? _____________________________ (in reply to ricanpassion) Post #: 8

They make different "grits" of polish depending on how deep the scratches are. Use the more agressive polishes on the deeper scratches and work your way up to a finer polish, then put a coat of wax on it. _____________________________ 2005 Windveil Blue V-6 Premium C&L CAI Diablo tune Sequential tail lights Magnaflow Duals Custom emblems Stripes Konig Beyond (in reply to 05 Silvertible) Post #: 9

My dealer said it was prabably keyed and fixed poorly. They actually agreed to paint the door and blend it with the side and go half/half for the cost. Not bad considering I baught it used w/ 5000 miles on it! _____________________________ (in reply to TNT1968) Post #: 14
