ive just de-badged the back of my car (ie. the ford, the fiesta, and the xr2i badges) and if you look in the light you can see slightly where the xr2i badge has been
any ideas how to get rid of the mark?

white spirit is what i used on it.came up trumps.could also try autoglym tar remover.
T-Cut might work too. either the normal stuff or the colour coded stuff.
