cleaning "2.0 16v" badge?

[p90ade]

gave my car a real good clean this morning, came up gorgeous.

the only thing i noticed is the little "2.0 16v" badges on the stips on the doors are looking a bit dull and mottled (sp?).

what do you clean yours with? iv tried abit of autosol but it didnt seems to manage it.

if autosol didnt work the badge must be scratched from taking it through the car wash or something

I had some similar marks on my old 172's side badges , i used autoglym metal polish , they came up a bit better but not perfect but if the autosol won't remove them i don't think the AG metal polish will . At the end of the day they are plastic thats been sprayed silver , not metal . Mine looked like it was actually little black dots in the paint not on top .

You could respray em then lacquer em as this will protect em better .

I used meguars clay one mine, come up lovely.
New ones are £13.41+Vat each from Renault.

Not sure why people use Metal polish on them as they are just painted plastic!

Wash, clay, polish, seal and wax as you do the rest of the paintwork.
