Sorry...this sounds kinda wierd.
Just a warning for those of you that may want to remove the Boxster emblem from the rear trunk. When I got home from Autocross Saturday I used the good old California Car Duster before heading out to a party and sure enough the duster caught the B and ripped it off ( it was already cracked )

So, I figured this would be a good time to remove the emblem since it is such a PITA to clean the trunk. Sunday night I break out the dental floss and Goo Gone. Dental floss worked great, now time to get rid of the sticky stuff. The glue remnants were so hard to get off !

I soaked a towel in Goo Gone, let it sit on the sticky stuff for an hour, and I still had to use a credit card to scrape off the remnants. Now, of course, I can still see the “Boxster” in the paint

So, after about 5 coats of Zaino in the last 3 days it looks much better, but I think I will still have to take it to a professional to buff out ( I am a bit of a perfectionist )

So be warned !

Nick
