I just debadge mainly because it's a pain in the ass to avoid getting wax in between the letters and then it drys and it's hard to get all of the white residue out. Then there is the problem of the Badge starting to lift off a little. When my son was cleaning my Boxster for me (The one and only time) he caught the polishing or cleaning cloth on the edge of the B and broke part of it off. Since then I've nearly done the same thing myself a few times.

I bought new Boxster & S badges (they were very reasonably priced, like $20) but I decided to go badgeless for a while.

I used Afta cleaning fluid (Carbon-Tetra-Cloride) and some dental flosh to easily remove the badges and double stick tape residue. Just wet with the Afta and then get some dental flosh behind the badge and with a sawing motion work your way from one end of the badge to the other.

My wife knows that I am very proud of my "S" so she said to me "but how will people know that it's an "S"? I told her I don't care, I'll know.
