While washing the car today, the Carrera logo popped off when I snaged it with a mit. No problem, the tail of the a was broken anyhow. It took much elbow grease and WD-40 to get off the baked-on old adhesive (most of which stayed with the car). Black, hard and stubborn.
My question is, can I get rid of the leftover shadow which seems to be part of the paint now. It looks like yellowed scotch tape that is "branded" in the clear coat (I assume there is a clear coat). Can't really feel it but can see it in the right light. I tried a mild swirl remover but don't want to get too agressive. The car is a. green if that makes a difference.
I was going to run "naked" but might have to put a new logo over the discoloration. Experience?
Thanks, Del

I think a new logo will be in order. Sometimes discoloration can work its way into the paint and nothing short of replacing the paint or clearcoat is going to get rid of it. The Carrera logo looks great anyway, so it's not a bad thing.
