Once I've removed the 'Renault Sport' badges, best thing to remove 12 years of gunk?



Re: Once I've removed the 'Renault Sport' badges, best thing to remove 12 years of gu

Are these pinned in, or stuck on? If the latter, wash it as usual and dry. Then soak a piece of kitchen towel in tar remover and stick it to the area. This will break down the left over glue/gunk stuck to it. Re wash and probably a wee bit of a polish. Protect and you're away.

Doesn't sound too tricky, thanks. The door pillar ones barely left anything behind, but there's plenty of gunk I can see behind the 'Renault Sport' left hand side rear badges. Pretty sure they're just stuck on!

Yeah I think it was just the Clio had had pins and thus left just holes rather than glue residue. The above will sort it.

Just ordered some Auto Finesse tar stuff, that should do it!

Left ones are just stuck on, the Clio badge on the right has pins which is why people use the RS200 badge over 197 on the right. Imo though, the 197 badge is way nicer if you go for a new one (on the left) :p

RS200 badge looks too new for mk2's.

Yeah, I'm only looking to get rid of the ones on the left. The mrs has a 2005 dynamique and it just has the 'clio' badge and looks much cleaner.

Ditto.

As above. But take your time. Don't get mad and just start scratching at it :)

Nothing on this cup is 'rushed' I barely get time to tend to it. :boring:
