I've just de-badged my car and got rid of the glue with white spirit's but now i've got the outline of the badge the white spirit is'nt shifting it so i wondered if t-cut would help move it
did'nt want to use it if it made it worse so i thought i'd seek advice
thanx

To a certain degree it will. My badges left white marks in the paint that could never have been shifted, it was like the lacquer had been damaged.
Good luck pal!

its where the badge kind of sinks into the paint almost, its rasied paintwork you cant really do a lot about it possibly a rubbing compound

I just put the badges back on me, was pretty good having 1.5TD badges on a 2.1 litre throttle bodies corsa. Had the boot resprayed shortly afterwards tho, so got rid of them then!

Its a Corsa C yours isnt it? Chances are its quite new so the badges shouldnt have had time to damage the paintwork, my corsa was some 1995 munter so at the time the badges had been sat there for about 7 years!!!
Good luck pal!
